BOCA RATON, Fla. –
Sully Zagerman of the Florida Atlantic University men's golf team continues to rake in the academic awards. The rising-senior has earned the Conference USA Scholar Athlete Award, the league announced on Thursday.
The C-USA Faculty Athletics Representatives vote on the awards and select a winner for each sport based on academic achievement, athletic achievement and service. Men's golf had a tie between Zagerman and Collin Clark of UTSA.
Zagerman exemplified the term student-athlete all season long. He was named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team and was named a GCAA All-American Scholar previously this season. He also received the Male Community Service award at the annual Owlspy's for completing the most community service hours of any male athlete on FAU's campus.
On the course, the Windermere, Florida native was the top finisher for the Owls most of the season. He took a full two strokes off his average score from a season ago for an average of 72.50 for the year. That season score is the second best in FAU history, behind Steve LeBrun who is currently playing professionally on the Web.com Tour.
He shot two of the program's top-10 54-hole scores this season with a 205 (tied for third) at the FAU Spring Championship and 207 (tied for eighth) at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate. He'll go into his senior season with the fourth best career scoring average at FAU, which sits at 74.41.
