It is the first time UDM has ever earned the scholastic award in its nine-year history as the Titans were 20th in the nation posting a 3.617 GPA in 2012-13. Detroit was also the only team in the Horizon League as well as in the state of Michigan to make the cut for its outstanding effort in the classroom, and was one of just 17 Division I programs in the top 25.
The Titans won their second Horizon League title this past season with a 20-stroke victory at the league event and went on to compete in their second NCAA Regional Championship. Detroit also tied a NCAA record with nine wins on the season – when it had just nine wins in its history entering the year – and set school records for team average (310.7), 36-hole tournament (588) and a Horizon League record with a 920 at the HL Championship.
The National Golf Coaches Association honors the women’s collegiate golf programs with the highest Team GPA with the NGCA All-Scholar Team GPA Award. This award is based on the average GPA for ALL of the members of the women’s team for a specific year. The All-Scholar Team GPA Award is distributed to the top 25 teams at all levels – Division I, II, III, NAIA and JUCO.
