4-24-09
CALDWELL,
N.J. - Caldwell College freshman Daniel Garcia
(Guadalajara, Mexico/German School) was selected to play in the NCAA
Division II Super Regional, held at The Glades Springs Resort in
Beckley, W. Va., May 4-6. Garcia, who is one of four individuals and 10
teams chosen to represent the East Region, is the first golfer from
Caldwell College to advance to a regional tournament in the 15-year
history of the program.
The Super Regional, hosted by Concord University, combines the East and
Atlantic regions and is one of four Super Regional tournaments being
contested at the Division II level. The finals will be held in Blaine,
Wash., at Loomis Trail Golf Club May 19-22.
Garcia earned a spot in the Super Regional by posting a stroke average
of 76.07 over 10 events during the fall and spring seasons. He was the
Cougars' low scorer in six of them, including overall medalist honors at
the USP Invitational Oct. 9 and the Holy Family Invitational Oct. 17. In
seven out of 14 rounds this season, Garcia shot a 75 or better, and
posted a season-low score of 71 at the Holy Family Invitational. Earlier
this week, Garcia and fellow freshman Randy Kurzinsky
(Barnesville, PA/Dr. Phillips) earned all-Central Atlantic Collegiate
Conference honors after finishing seventh and 10th, respectively, to
help the Cougars place fifth in the team standings.
The 10 teams from the East Region that qualified for the Super Regional
include Post, Goldey-Beacom and Wilmington from the CACC, Adelphi, St.
Thomas Aquinas and Dowling from the East Coast Conference, and Le Moyne,
UMass-Lowell, Assumption and Southern New Hampshire from the Northeast
10. Along with Garcia, the individuals from the East are Andrew Lee of
Dominican, Kent St. Charles of Pace and Matt Horton of St. Rose.
