2012 IN REVIEW LIONS ENJOY SUCCESSFUL 2012 SEASON The University of North Alabama men’s golf team enjoyed another successful season in 2012, posting a 77-12 record that included a Top Ten national ranking by Golf Stat and the school’s third Gulf South Conference championship in the last four years. The Lions won four of the five regularseason tournaments that they played in, taking titles at the Mardi Gras Invitational, the Southeastern Collegiate, the UNA/Jim Bishop Spring Classic and the Argonaut Invitational. UNA then claimed the GSC title to go with crows from 2009 and 2010. The Lions couldn’t keep up the torrid pace in the NCAA Division II South/Southeast Super Regional, however, finishing seventh. That finish prevented UNA from advancing to the Division II national tournament. Seniors Jake Greer and Ty Chandler both were selected All-Gulf South Conference, AllSouth Region and All-American. Junior Ricky Stimets joined them on the All-GSC squad and senior Tyler Ekenberg joined them on the AllGSC Tournament team. Greer also earned numerous academic awards, including Academic All-GSC, Capital One Academic All-District, Capital One Academic All-America® and Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar. For his part, coach Stuart Clark was named GSC Coach of the Year for the second time in his three seasons as head coach of the Lions.

GULF SOUTH CONFERENCE GSC History

Academic excellence and a leadership role in the NCAA’s Division II make the Gulf South Conference (GSC) something special. The GSC is a charter Division II member and enters its 43rd year as one of the premier conferences at any NCAA level. In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to talk about athletics; when the meeting ended, a new league emerged—the Mid-South Conference—started by, and to this day run by, the CEOs, the first in NCAA history. It is that CEO-control and involvement that makes the league work and its 14 championships (football; men’s & women’s cross country, men’s & lls State women’s soccer; volleyball, men’s & women’s basho Nic ... .... .... .... .... .... 1972.... ketball, men’s & women’s tennis, men’s & women’s a ian uis rn Lo golf, softball and baseball) so bitterly contested in a 1973...........
