Four HL Golfers Named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars

Four Horizon League golfers – Detroit’s Simon Reyers and Valparaiso’s Austin Gaugert, Kyle Henning, Thomas Wettstein - were named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

Reyers was named to the All-America Scholar team for the second consecutive season. An All-Horizon League selection as a junior and All-Tournament honoree this past season when he finished tied for fifth at the HL Championship, Reyers ended his final collegiate season with a 75.2 average which gave him a 75.3 mark for his stellar four-year career, good for sixth in school history. He was a four-year member of the UDM Athletic Director's Honor Roll and was also named to the Horizon League Fall and Spring Academic Honor Roll during his career and to the Horizon League Spring All-Academic Team in 2013.

The trio of Gaugert, Henning and Wettstein ranked 1-2-3 on the 2012-2013 Crusader squad in stroke average, leading Valpo to its first-ever Horizon League Championship. Gaugert and Henning both were All-Horizon League honorees, with Gaugert setting a new Crusader single-season scoring average record of 74.7 and Henning moving into third on Valpo's single-season list with a 75.5 stroke average. Wettstein, whose 75.8 scoring average is fifth-best in a single season in Crusader history, earned individual medalist honors at the 2013 Horizon League Championship and was joined by Henning on the All-Tournament Team.

The trio of Crusaders also succeed in the classroom as well. Gaugert graduated with a 3.392 cumulative GPA as a marketing and sports management double major. Meanwhile, Henning owns a 3.805 cumulative GPA as a civil engineering major, while Wettstein carries a 3.715 cumulative GPA as a finance major.
