Men's Golfers Earn All-American Scholar Recognition

2016 Jul 21

Two members of the Trine men's golf team have received recognition as Cleveland Golf / Srixon All-America Scholars.

For the second straight year, Connor Dwyer (Coldwater, Mich. / Coldwater) and Corey Bremigan (Russia, Ohio / Russia) were recognized for their combined excellence on the links and in the classroom by the Golf Coaches Association of America. To be eligible for Cleveland Golf / Srixon All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50 percent of his team's competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 79.0 and maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.2.

Dwyer's honor caps off a career that included two All-MIAA campaigns in addition to his two All-American Scholar honors. This past fall, Dwyer earned All-MIAA First Team recognition after medaling in two MIAA Jamboree rounds and finishing fifth in the conference in individual scoring. Dwyer also earned All-MIAA Second Team honors in 2014. During his career, Dwyer won individual medalist honors in four MIAA rounds. He graduated with a degree in golf management.

Bremigan also capped off a career that included All-MIAA honors. As a junior, Bremigan was an All-MIAA Second Team performer. This season, he won individual medalist honors in the MIAA Jamboree at Albion. The win gave the Bremigan three wins in conference rounds in his career. He graduated in May with a degree in civil engineering. Prior to graduating, he was inducted into the Order of the Engineer.

Dwyer and Bremigan helped lead Trine a third-place finish in the MIAA. The Thunder also placed third in the MIAA Spring Qualifier.

The Thunder men's golf team opens the 2016 season Sep. 2-3 at Olivet College's Lou Collins Memorial. The tournament will be contested at Bedford Valley Golf Course in Battle Creek, Mich.
