NEW YORK - The
Northern Kentucky University men's golf program is among the nation's
best for the second straight week. The Golf World Division II Coaches'
Poll ranked the Norse No. 22, up two spots from last week.
NKU continues
to excel this spring, taking first place in the University of Cincinnati
Invitational earlier this week against a largely Division I field.
Andrew Jewell's third-place finish helped lead the Norse to victory.
Earlier this season, the Norse placed second at Eagle Creek in Crittendon,
Ky., and picked up a win at the Rivermen Invitational in O'Fallon,
Mo., in the fall.
NKU is the only
Great Lakes Region team to crack the Top 25. West Florida sits atop
the coaches' poll, followed by Florida Southern. Great Lakes Valley
Conference foe Indianapolis is among others receiving votes in the
poll.
NKU returns
to action this weekend at Columbus, Ind., as the Norse compete in
the GLVC Championships.
