ROCK HILL, S.C. – With the 2022 South Atlantic Conference Men's Golf Championship slated to begin on Sunday, Anderson junior standout Reece Coleman has earned Second-Team All-South Atlantic Conference honors, as announced by the league office, Friday morning.
Coleman, a native of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, garnered all-conference recognition for the third straight season after also being recognized as a second-team selection a year ago and being named SAC Freshman of the Year in 2020. He is currently ranked 72nd in the nation by Golfstat after posting a team-best 71.95 unadjusted stroke average through seven tournaments this year.

Coleman carded two rounds of 67, at the Camden Collegiate and the LMU Spring Kick-off, and a 69 at the Miami Intercollegiate. He notched six top-25 performances, including three top-10 finishes and finished as runner-up at the Spring Kick-off.
Lincoln Memorial's Luke Harries was voted the 2022 South Atlantic Conference Men's Golfer of the Year, while Carson-Newman's Elliot MacGregor was named the Conference's Freshman of the Year and Lincoln Memorial's Travis Muncy was named the Coach of the Year.

He picked up two tournament wins, had three top-five finishes, two top-10 finishes, and two top-20 finishes this season, all while helping lead the Railsplitters to a No. 3 national ranking and three tournament victories as a team.
MacGregor, a freshman from Shepperton, Middlesex, carded a 73.65 scoring average this season, while leading the Eagles to a No. 2 national ranking. He won the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate with a nine-under-par performance for the week, including a season-low 67 (-5) in the final round. In addition to winning medalist honors once this season, MacGregor also earned one top-20 finish.
Muncy earned his fourth consecutive SAC Coach of the Year honor in 2022 after leading the Railsplitters to a No. 3 national ranking in the Bushnell/Golfweek Division II poll. Muncy's men's team captured nine top-10 finishes in 2021-22, including three tournament titles and one runner-up finish.
