Highest Team GPA

Grades are in and we achieved our goal of having the highest team GPA in the department!  Our team GPA was a 3.61 and had three guys achieve a perfect 4.0.  It is a great way to end our spring semester that saw us perform well on the golf course as well.

A few quick facts about our 2010-11 season:
-Neal wins the Branson Creek Invitational by 5 shots which gave him his 3rd career win to tie for most wins ever in SIUE history.
-Neal finished his career with the 1,2 and 5th best single season scoring averages in school history
-Neal finished his career with the top four 54 hole totals in school history
-Neal finished his career with the top two 18 hole rounds in school history
-Alex Knoll shoots 69 in the final round of Branson Creek Invitational
-Alex Knoll shoots 3 under par (70-71) at the Red Wolf Intercollegiate hosted by Arkansas State
-We had 17 individual rounds under par this year
-Finished the spring season with an 8-3 record against instate Illinois schools
-Had 3 top 4 team finishes that included two 3rd place finishes
-Went 6-3 against the OVC this spring
-Went 9-2 against the Missouri Valley Conference this spring

I have almost finalized the fall schedule and will post it as soon as it is 100% completed.  It is shaping to be a very good, but tough fall schedule!

Graduation!!!

Today was graduation and I couldn't be happier for our two graduating seniors, Nick Nuzzo and Neal McCarty.  Nick graduated with a degree in Mass Communications and Neal graduated with his degree in Speech Communication.  I am very proud of both of them and wish nothing but the best for them in the future.  Graduation went smooth and neither tripped and fell receiving their diploma!  Best of luck Neal and Nick!!

Meeting our Pen Pals at Glen Carbon Elementary

We went and met with our pen pals who are in kindergarten at Glen Carbon Elementary.  We have been writing with them the spring semester and the guys really enjoyed it.  During our visit to the school we read with them, ate some snacks and played with them during recess.  I think our guys had as much fun running around as the kindergartners did!!  Here are just a few pictures from the event.
