Junior golfer Dane Zachman was named NAC Student-Athlete of the Week for his performance at the Northern Athletics Conference Spring Automatic Qualifier Meet. The team with the lowest combined score of the NAC Fall Championship and spring AQ tournament receives the bid to the NCAA tournament.
No one saw it coming but the improbable happened. The MSOE Raiders men's golf team was behind conference foe Edgewood by ten strokes entering Monday's two-day Behind a 36-hole team score of 629, MSOE defeated Edgewood by eight strokes in the four-day combined event to earn a spot in the NCAA Championship. Raiders junior Dane Zachman was the medalist of the spring qualifier portion of the event with a 36-hole score of 144, shooting an even par to pace the field. The closest golfer to Zachman was Aurora's Dave Pecorella who was ten strokes off the pace. What makes this evening more amazing is that it was done in torrential downpours.
