Cleveland, OH-Sophomore Brody Simms has been named to the Horizon League Men's Golf Second Team following the conclusion of the Horizon League Championship this past week. This is the first postseason honor for Simms and he is one of ten student-athletes honored by the league on the first and second teams.
Simms closed the regular season with a 72.2 scoring average competing in every tournament for the Vikings in the starting lineup. He recorded four top-20 finishes and two top-five finishes this season.
Simms closed the year with a T-17 finish at the Horizon League Championship at Mission Inn Resort. His tournament was highlighted by a 3-under 69 in the opening round which placed him in the top five of the individual standings after the first round of play.
Student-athletes are nominated for postseason awards and award winners are determined following a vote amongst the ten head coaches within the league.
