 New
York, NY
- The second Golf World/Nike Golf
Division III Coaches’ Poll of the fall season has been
released, combining the resources of Golf World magazine,
Nike Golf, and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
North Carolina Wesleyan and head coach Mark Cole are pleased
to announce that the Battling Bishops were tabbed #21 in the
nation, marking the first such ranking in program history.
The Bishops, who boast the
top-ranked freshmen class and the 10th-ranked team in the nation according to GolfStat, have tallied first-place, runner-up, and
sixth-place finishes this fall. As a team, Wesleyan has
recorded five top-5, eight top-10, and eleven top-20
individual showings thusfar, including freshman Kristoffer
Idestal's medalist performance at last week's Shenandoah
Invitational. The Battling Bishops also carry just over a 75
stroke average per golfer.
USA South foe Methodist University
is the new number one team in the poll, earning 11 of the 15
first-place votes. The Monarchs have won both of their
tournaments this fall, most recently winning the Gordin-Myers
Coca-Cola Classic at Duke University GC in Durham, NC.
Rounding out the top-five are
Huntingdon, Oglethorpe, Guilford, and Skidmore. Greensboro
(No. 8) and Rhodes (No. 9) cracked the top-10, after being
ranked 16 and 11, respectively, in the previous poll.
Southwestern (No. 12), NCWC (No. 21), Bridgewater (No. 22),
and Trinity University (No. 23) are making their first
appearances of the season in the top-25.
The complete results, including
results from Divisions I, II and the NAIA, will appear in
the October 19th issue of Golf World and can be viewed
