GCAA Release

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. - The 2020-21 Saint John's University golf team received Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Academic team recognition for the 13th straight season on Friday, July 23.

To be eligible for All-Academic Team honors, a college or university must submit the grade points earned and hours attempted for each player on its official squad list for the academic year and carry a team GPA of 3.00 or higher. 

The 24 Johnnies combined for a 3.47 team GPA to earn the program's 13th honor in the award's 13th year of existence. SJU was one of 10 teams that earned GCAA All-Academic Team honors and participated at the NCAA Division III Championship in May.

The Johnnies shattered the 54-hole, championship-meet record with a three-day total of 850 (284-281-285) - besting the previous record-low (set by SJU in 2006) by 27 shots - to win the program's 13th MIAC title May 2 at Emerald Greens G.C. in Hastings. All five Johnnies finished in the top 12, with four earning All-MIAC honors (top 10). SJU made its 18th appearance as a team (19th overall) at the Division III Championship in Wheeling, W.Va., and tied for 15th out of 37 teams.
