Sam Lyman earned All-Liberty League Honorable Mention honors, as the St. Lawrence University men's golf team wrapped up the 2024-25 season with a fifth-place finish at the Liberty League Championships at the end of April.
Men's golf awards are voted on by the league's coaches - Lyman played in 18.5 rounds and averaged a 75.72 strokes on the season for the Saints to earn the Honorable Mention nod.Â
The Saints opened the season by hosting the St. Lawrence University Invitational, finishing first. SophomoreÂ
Gabe Ward claimed second place as the tournament's runner up with a 147, while Lyman dropped 10 strokes from Saturday's round and shot three under par on Sunday to finish tied for third with a 148.
St. Lawrence also played in the Middlebury, Williams, Bowdoin, and Hamilton Fall Invitationals and played single-round tournaments at SUNY Canton, Clarkson and Skidmore. The Saints took first place at Skidmore and finished second at Clarkson.
