GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- University of North Dakota men's golf junior Kagan Kollar is one of 11 student-athletes to earn a spot on the 2026 Summit League Golf Academic All-League Team for his excellence in the classroom and strong performance throughout the golf season, as announced by league officials on Thursday afternoon.

On the course, Kollar finished third on the team with a 73.69 scoring average and competed in nine of UND's 10 events this season. He carded a trio of top-10 finishes and two top-5 finishes to help the Fighting Hawks finish with their best team scoring average in program history (291.76).
