Jorge Gomez and Schussler rounded out the final round scoring for NCMC with a 77 and 79. "Extremely proud of this group to finish the season strong with a solid postseason finish. For a group of all Freshman to have the success they did throughout the year is really pleasing for our program. We took away a lot of positives having the most All-Region golfers for the program since 2019. The South Central District is not easy to advance out of but having guys that were two and three shots respectively out of qualifying for the National Tournament is a great learning experience for everyone and shows the growth that everyone has had since August", quoted Head Coach Nate Swann.
Guillermo Gomez's 54-total of 232 was good enough to earn NJCAA All-Region 16 2nd Team honors. Alvaro Alegria finished with NJCAA All-Region 16 1st Team status after a 54-hole tally of 224. Grant Leamer also finished with NJCAA All-Region 16 honors with a 54-hole mark of 223 and is the first Men's Golfer since 2021 to be named to the NJCAA South Central All-District Team.
