VESTAL, N.Y. – The Binghamton golf team has received the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Team Academic Award for the 2019-20 season. To earn the accolade, a team must have compiled at least a 3.0 GPA during the entire academic year.

"It's an honor for our team to receive this award," head coach Bernie Herceg said. "I'm very proud how the players remained focused during these troubling times and persevered. They did a tremendous job. We look forward to competing again in the future and continuing to maintain our academic excellence."

This marks the second academic award that has come the Bearcats way for the 2019-20 academic year. Current senior Nacho Glagovsky was named to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic Team back in the spring.

In addition, all 10 players on last year's roster earned at least a 3.3 GPA during the spring 2020 semester despite the transition to online learning in Mid-March.
