Deitz Earns MIAC Weekly Honor
MOORHEAD, Minn. (4/17/12)—Concordia
senior Pat Deitz (Moorhead, Minn.) was named the
MIAC Men's Golfer of the Week. Deitz, who earns the award for the
second time in the 2011-12 season, won the St. John's Triangular
Meet last weekend.
Deitz also won the MIAC weekly award on September 20 after winning
the St. John's Fall Invitational. It is the third time a CC golfer
has earned the honor. Teammate Coy Papachek also claimed MIAC Men's
Golfer of the Week honors in the fall.
Playing in less-than-ideal golfing conditions, Dietz got his
spring season off to a tremendous start with a championship-caliber
performance at the SJU Triangular at Territory GC in St. Cloud. The
No.25-ranked Cobbers finished second to No.11 St. John's and ahead
of UW-Eau Claire at the meet.
Deitz earned medalist honors by carding a 2-under score of 70. The
score was made even more impressive since the golfers had to battle
through cold temperatures and strong winds. With Deitz leading the
way, Concordia shot a very good team score of 298, just a single
shot behind SJU. Deitz adds his latest MIAC honor to his MIAC
All-Conference award he claimed at the fall conference championship
event for finishing in the top 10 with a three-day total of
228.
The Concordia men's golf team and its star senior were back in
action this week in their hometown of Moorhead at the Valley City
Invite. The Cobbers will then take almost two weeks off before
returning to competition April 28-29 at the Saint John's Spring
Invite, where they'll get another shot at SJU and six other
conference opponents.
