NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day Nuggets...
Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
ECU's Krog, Hauser recognized for academics
East Carolina's Lene Krog of Leir, Norway,
and Jessica Hauser of Germantown, NC, have been named to the NCAA Division I
All-American scholar team, announced by the National Golf Coaches
Association (NGCA).
Krog and Hauser, a two-time recipient, are
two of 371 Division I, II and III women's golfers nationwide to be named to
the all-scholar team, according to a release from the ECU's athletic media
relations department.
The criteria for selection to the
all-scholar team stipulate a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.50.
Student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent (Division I) or
66 percent (Division II and III) of their team's regularly scheduled
competitive rounds during the year.
Krog, a business major, competed in 10
events for the Pirates this past season collecting six top five finishes,
including the Conference USA all-around championship, and had eight top ten
finishes. She helped the Lady Pirates to their first ever team C-USA
championship during her freshman season and their third NCAA East regional
appearance. Krog finished her initial campaign with a 74.52 stroke average
and garnered C-USA freshman-of-the-year and first-team all-conference
accolades.
Hauser, a communications major, also
participated in ten events on the year, recording a pair of top 25
placements, including a share of 20th place at the C-USA championships. She
completed 29 rounds in competition with an 18-hole average of 79.66.
Off the course, both Krog and Hauser were
named to the ECU athletic director's honor roll for the fall and spring
semesters, earned the distinguished Conference USA commissioner's academic
medal and were named to the 2005-06 C-USA honor roll.
Krog and Hauser join former Pirate standout
Margaret Mitchell (2002, 2003 and 2004) and Michelle Williams (2005) as
other Lady Pirates that have been named NGCA All-American scholars.
Central Florida golfer fires record round of 60
Central Florida sophomore Kyle Davis
followed up Friday's 10-under par 60 with rounds of 66 and 71 Sunday and
finished fifth at the Eastern Amateur in Portsmouth, VA. He finished one
stroke out of a three-way tie for second, according to an account on the
Conference USA website.
Davis made 11 birdies and one bogey during
Friday's round en route to setting the competitive course record at the
par-70 Elizabeth Manor course. Earlier this summer he won the Philadelphia
Amateur title.
Rutgers drops six sports to trim athletic budget
The Rutgers board of governors has approved
a university-wide budget for the 2006-07 academic year that includes $52.4
million in spending cuts to programs, staff and services that will affect
virtually all academic and administrative operations at the state university
of New Jersey. The board approved the university’s 2006-07 spending plan in
the wake of the recently adopted state budget, which significantly reduced
funding for higher education and left Rutgers with an unprecedented
shortfall of $80.4 million.
The university-wide cuts will include
position eliminations, layoffs, cuts in courses and course sections, as well
as the elimination of six intercollegiate sports, effective at the
conclusion of the 2006-07 season. The affected sports are men’s heavyweight
crew, men’s lightweight crew, men’s fencing, women’s fencing, men’s swimming
and diving and men’s tennis.
The sports will compete during the 2006-07
season. All scholarship commitments made to any of the affected
student-athletes will be honored. It is expected that many, if not all, of
the affected sports will be offered as part of the university’s club sports
program, according to a release on the university's athletic website.
