Seahawks, Brock Take CAA Title

PINEHURST, North Carolina - Fueled by Colonial Athletic Association medalist Josh Brock, UNCW recorded a 10-stroke victory on Sunday at the Colonial Athletic Association men's golf championship played on Course No. 8 at the Pinehurst Golf Resort.

The Seahawks advance to their fifth NCAA tournament appearance and second straight after earning an at-large berth last season. UNCW will learn its destination for the first round in early May.

For Head Coach Matt Clark, the title was his first with the Seahawks and third overall after winning two as head coach at Georgia State.

"Our goal this week was to control our emotions during the rounds and we did a good job of that'" said Clark. "We were able to overcome some adverse weather and situations. I'm proud of the way our guys played. It's nice to bring a championship back to Wilmington."

Brock (72-71-71=214), who held the lead in all three rounds, edged VCU Rocky Khara (74-71-72=217) by three strokes to become UNCW's first conference champion since 2005 when Brian Joyce won the title.

"I struck the ball well all week and was able to make some needed putts down the stretch," said Brock. "I'm happy were able to put things together and win the title for Wilmington and UNCW."

For UNCW, it was their first conference title since the 2005 championship and the third overall. It was also their fourth tournament win, tying the school record set in 2003.

Joining Brock with top-10 finishes were Thomas Bass (74-74-73=221) and Payne McLeod (75-73-76=224), who finished tied for seventh and ninth, respectively.

Michael Taylor (73-75-80=228) and Taylor Zimmerman (82-77-75=234), meanwhile, placed in ties for 18th and 32, respectively.
