NAIA Men's Golf Top 25 Poll
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Savannah College of Art and Design is ranked No. 2 in the preseason NAIA Men's Golf Coaches Top 25 Poll.
The No. 2 ranking for the Bees is the highest-ever in the history of the program. SCAD was ranked No. 4 in NCAA Division III during 2001.
SCAD enjoyed a successful fall season where the Bees recorded a first, a second and a third in their three events. SCAD capped off their fall with a 20-stroke victory in the Wilmington Island Club Intercollegiate in late October. The Bees defeated the likes of No. 3 University of South Carolina Beaufort, No. 4 Johnson & Wales (Fla.) University, No. 16 Northwood (Fla.) University and No. 18 St. Thomas (Fla.) University in the event.
Oklahoma City University is ranked number one team in the poll, earning all 19 first-place votes. The Stars won the NAIA Preview, their third tournament title in four starts this fall.
SCAD will return to action Feb. 8 at the Start-2-Finish Invitational in Sebring, Fla.
