Award Is Second In Wagner’s Career

 NORMAN, Okla. – For the second time in his career at the University of Evansville, golfer Spencer Wagner was recognized as a Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar in an announcement by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).

To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior both academically and athletically in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their Associate’s Degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA.

In addition, they must participate in 40-percent of his team’s competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in NCAA Division I, under 78.0 in NCAA Division II, under 79.0 in NCAA Division III, under 78.0 in NAIA, and under 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.

“I could not be more proud of this accomplishment for Spencer,” UE head golf coach John Andrews exclaimed.  “His dedication in the classroom and his fine play this last year earned him this great honor.”

Wagner enjoyed another strong season for the Purple Aces, pacing the men with a 75.38 stroke average in the spring of 2021.  In each of UE’s opening four tournaments, Wagner finished in the top 17.  His best finish came at the Murray State Invitational where he earned a 10th place finish while shooting a 70 in the third round for his lowest score of the season.
