Four Bentley Falcons Named Division II Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars

WALTHAM, Mass. – Four Bentley University Falcons, including Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year Tommy Ethier (Nashua, N.H./Bishop Guertin HS) and CoSIDA Academic All-America Ellis Yoder (Fort Wayne, Ind./Homestead HS), have been named Division II Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

The other honorees were Robert Falconer (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley HS) and Ryan Daly (Beverly/Beverly HS).

To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status, an individual must maintain a minimum cumulative career grade point average of 3.2 and own a stroke average of under 78.0.

Ethier, a rising senior who was the recipient of the Northeast-10 Sport Excellence award for men's golf as the conference's premier scholar-athlete. A PING Division II All-Region honoree for the third straight year, the accountancy major led the Falcons with a 73.0 stroke average during five fall tournaments (the spring season fell victim to COVID-99).

Falconer, a finance major who graduated in May, was second on the team with a career-best 74.3 stroke average. He earned second-team All-Northeast-10 honors for the second straight year and his stroke average improved annually throughout his career.

Yoder, in addition to being named a third-team CoSIDA Academic All-America, was voted to the Academic All-Northeast-10 team and the All-Conference third team. A co-captain along with Falconer, the computer information systems major graduated in just three years and will pursue his masters this coming year. Yoder's 75.75 stroke average in four tournaments was a career-best.

Daly, a rising junior who is majoring in accountancy, played seven rounds last fall and achieved a 77.3 stroke average. His best 36-hole score was a 150- in the Le Moyne Fall Invitational.
