GW placed third in the VCU shootout, hitting a team score of 829 that smashed its previous 54-hole record by 31 shots relative to par.

Former golfer Logan Lowe and the 2018-19 golf team earned academic awards from the Golf Coaches Association of America, according to a release Friday.

Lowe was named a Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar for the second straight year while the team was honored with a GCAA Outstanding Team Academic Award for the third consecutive season.

To earn Division I All-American Scholar status, a golfer must be a junior or senior, compete in 50 percent of the team’s competitive rounds, have a stroke average under 76.0 and maintain a career grade point average of 3.2.

Lowe, who graduated in 2019 with a degree in real estate, earned a 3.55 GPA and a GW-record 72.56 career stroke average. He topped off his standout career as a Colonial with a winning Atlantic 10 Championship in his final campaign.

Lowe joined 540 student-athletes in earning All-American status, the highest number of recipients since the award was established in 1982.

To receive the GCAA Academic Award, a team must earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. The Colonials reached the threshold for the third straight year, joining 202 other teams.
