Sattler Named MAC Golfer of the Week
September 27 | Men's Golf
- University of Akron senior
Blake Sattler was named
Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Week today. Sattler received
the award after carding in a six-under-par score of 204 (65-71-68)
en route to taking medalist honors at the McLaughlin
Tournament.
Sattler's efforts led the Zips to just their second team title
since 1997 and the second medalist honor of his career. Akron last
took top honors on April 1, 2006 at the Bradford Intercollegiate,
but had not won an event prior to that since finishing first at the
Persimmon Ridger Intercollegiate on Oct. 21, 1997.
The New Philadelphia, Ohio native tied his own school record with
an opening-round score of 65 (5-under) to help him lead the
tournament the entire way.
Sattler, who sat out all of last season as a medical redshirt, was
last name MAC Golfer of the week on April 12, 2005 after shooting a
career-best 11-under 202 at the Marshall Invitational.
Sattler and the rest of the Zips will return to the links on
Monday, Oct. 2, at the Xavier Invitational.
