DIVISION III PING ALL-REGION RELEASE

ENDICOTT GOLF ALL-REGION HISTORY

BEVERLY, Mass. - Following a season in which he helped guide the Endicott golf team back to the top of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC), junior Nicholas Grimbilas (Strafford, N.H.) has been named to the NCAA DIII PING All-Region Team for Region 1, as was announced late last week. Grimbilas was one of just 15 golfers selected from the region, and becomes just the third golfer in program history to receive PING All-Region honors.

The all-region nod comes one week after he was named to the CCC First Team for the second straight year, and followed a season in which he averaged a team-best average of 76.1 strokes across seven events and 11 rounds prior to NCAA DIII Championship play. The junior was named CCC Golfer of the Week twice during the year as he earned one medalist honor and finished as the runner-up at the CCC Fall Qualifier with a round of 75. Grimbilas also closed the year with two top-five finishes, four top-10's, and four top-20's. The Strafford, N.H. native also posted a low round of 71 for the season which came at the WIlliams Invitational. 

Grimbilas joins Austin Teal '16 and Athan Goulos '18 as the only student-athletes to have earned PING All-Region distinction for the Gulls.
