Joey Krecic Named Horizon League Men's Golfer of the Week

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cleveland State sophomore Joey Krecic was named the Horizon League Men's Golfer of the Week after earning medalist honors at the Wright State Invitational earlier this week.

After carding rounds of 72 and even-par 71 on Monday, Krecic finished the tournament with a one-under-par 70 on Tuesday to shoot a 54-hole total of 213 and earn medalist honors by one shot.

It was his second invididual title of the season after he also claimed the Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate in September. He is the first Vikings to win multiple tournaments in the same season since Andrew Bailey won three times in 2013-14. Bailey captured the Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate, the UD Flyer Invitational and the Horizon League Championship that year.

Krecic now has 10 rounds of par or better this year and four top-five finishes in his nine events.

Krecic was one of three CSU players to finish in the top-seven, helping the Vikings to their third straight top two finish at a tournament. CSU was second at the Davidson Invitational (Feb. 29-March 1) and won the Villanova Wildcat Invitational (March 28-29) in its previous two tournaments.

It is the fourth top-two finish for the Vikings this year as CSU was the runner-up at the season opening Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate in September.

The Vikings close the regular season at the Earl Yestingmeier Invitational on April 15-16 before heading to the Horizon League Championship in Florida from April 22-24 where CSU is the two-time defending champion.
