GRAND HAVEN, Mich. -- The Anderson University men's golf team is making waves on the national stage as they were ranked No. 9 in the Bushnell/Golfweek Preseason coaches poll as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Friday, September 1.
The Trojans slid into the ninth spot in the rankings, though they were able to capture four first-place votes in the standings. Barry topped the poll for the first release this year, but the Trojans remained the top ranked South Atlantic Conference team in the polling as Lincoln Memorial and Carson-Newman checked in at No. 11 and No. 16.
Anderson opens up their fall campaign in just over a week as they travel to August, Ga. to take part in the Bearcat Fall Invitational hosted by Lander at the Forest Hills Golf Club on September 11-12.
