GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The University of North Dakota men's golf team ended the season with a variety of broken records as they look forward to the future.
Throughout the season, the team was led in team scoring by freshmen
Lucas Feterl,
Grayson Wetch, and
Zach Hinschberger. Sophomore
Brandon McGarry contributed to the accomplishments of the three freshmen as he recorded the second lowest individual score in the Division I era by securing a 66 in the second round of the Stampede at the Creek on Oct. 4-5, 2022 in Omaha, Neb.
As the season continued to take its course, the team secured the lowest total team score in the Division I era by carding a 287 in the second round of Stampede at the Creak on Oct. 4-5, 2022. Not only did they achieve this feat, but the men's golf team also recorded the second lowest total team score in the Division I era (2009-2022) with a 908 in the Summit League Championships in Newton, Kan. This team score of 908 resulted in them also recording the lowest team score since the Fighting Hawks entered the Summit League. They continued to etch their names in the record books as they secured the second lowest team score average per round in the Division I era with a team average of 306.
Along with earning success on the course, the men's golf team was awarded the 2022 Community Service Team Award. They averaged 16 hours of community service per student-athlete, working with Special Olympics, the Pen Pal program, and the Grand Forks Mentorship Center. Overall, the team generated over $3,500 of economic impact.
"We have a lot of work ahead of us but as a team we have made positive progress," reflected head coach
Todd Schaefer.
