Day named OVC co-Golfer of the Month

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana senior Jace Day (Bloomington, Indiana) was named Ohio Valley Conference co-Golfer of the Month for October. Day shared the OVC honor for October with Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s T.J. Baker.
 
The Golfer of the Month honor is the first of Day’s and the first for the USI team since teammate Jason Bannister won the award last March.
 
Day led the Screaming Eagles in a pair of tournaments in October, posting a 70.0 strokes per round average over five rounds. Day started the month as the medalist and OVC Golfer of the Week after shooting a USI 54-hole record 206 (70-66-70) at The Buddy, which was hosted by Murray State University. The senior also posted a second-round 66 at The Buddy, which is tied for the third best round in USI history.
 
The senior finished the month by tying for seventh at a rain-drenched Kentucky Wesleyan Invitational, posting a team-best even-par 144 (74-70). He started slow with a first round 74, but rallied in the second round with a two-under 70. 
 
Day and the Eagles are idle until the start of the spring schedule February 19-20 when they play in the World Golf Village Collegiate in St. Augustine, Florida and hosted by Eastern Kentucky University.
