HADLEY, Mass. – First-year Jack Burlison and sophomore Dan Langa of the Amherst College men's golf team were named to the NESCAC All-Conference teams, as announced Tuesday afternoon by the league office.
Burlison was named a first team selection, while Langa earned second team accolades after the duo guided Amherst to a third place finish at the NESCAC Men's Golf Championship Qualifier this past weekend. By placing in the top four, the Purple & White advanced to the conference championship in the spring.
Burlison was impressive in just his second collegiate invitational and finished tied for third overall. After carding an 80 on day one at the Taconic Golf Club, the first-year improved his day two score by eight strokes to shoot a 72. With a two-day, 36-hole score of 152, Burlison finished 10-over par en route to first team laurels.
Langa's impressive season continued at the championship qualifier as he finished tied for 14th in the field with a 158. His consistent weekend featured a 78 on round one, followed by an 80 in round two to finish 16-over par.
As a team, Amherst shot a 628 (316-312) over the weekend and tied for third with Hamilton College.
The Purple & White return to the course Saturday and will compete in the final fall invitational of the 2015 campaign - the ECAC Championship.
