The Loyola Men's Golf team did it again. They advanced to the NCAA regional by virtue of the MAAC automatic bid. The team recovered from a slow start on Friday to outclass the field at the Celebration Golf Course in Florida. The Greyhounds, carried on by the momentum of a victory at the Titans Class in Detroit a week early and after trailing by 5 strokes on day one, pulled ahead and took a day 2 lead and held on for the victory over a firey Iona Gaels team.
Loyola now waits until May 4th to find out the regional they will play in. The likely location is Galloway/Seacrest in New Jersey.
The team is lead by brothers Mike and Jay Mulieri. The chanes of advancing to the Finals is a long shot, but their is the potential for perhaps an individual to make it to the next level.
The team also picked up some other awards in addition to the team championship:
Head Coach Tom Beidleman was named Coach of the Year - the first time since 2003 that he was honored with this award.
Jay Mulieri was name Rookie of the Year.
At the Loyola Athletic Awards Banquet on Monday night, Mike Mulieri was award the Mohler Award, awarded to the top senior student-athlete.
Kudos to Coach Beidleman and his team. They are true champions.
