The Men's Golf team is off to the NCAA Regional for the first time since 2012 and is looking for its second regional crown, having won in 2006. The 54-hole event will be held this Thursday-Saturday in Victor, NY with Goldey-Beacom starting at 12:40 pm on Thursday and 10:00 am on Friday.

The squad has finished with at least a share of the best score four times this season, including tied for the top spot at the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Championship. Hunter McGee (Almonte, ON) and fellow freshman Pablo Saenz Avila (Bogota, Colombia) each were named All-CACC a third straight year and freshman Camilo Samur (Bucaramanga, Colombia) was tabbed for the first time.

The Lightning are ranked fourth in the East Region, according to Golfstat, for the highest spot among CACC schools.

The Baseball squad this week battles Jefferson in the first round of the CACC Tournament. The best-of-three series takes place at Doyle Field in Hockessin with a doubleheader Friday at noon and an if-necessary game Saturday at 2:00 pm. The winner advances to the four-team double-elimination part of the tournament next week in Waterbury, CT and the champion earns an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.

Goldey-Beacom (27-22, 18-6 CACC) broke the school record for most victories, presently is on a team-best 16-game home winning streak and has numerous individual accomplishments. Reigning All-CACC and All-East Region shortstop Mason Maxwell (Newfield, NJ) is tops with 65 hits and 55 runs, reigning CACC Rookie of the Year and All-East Region first baseman Garrett Musey (Millville, NJ) has a team-record 48 RBI, reigning All-CACC pitcher Mitch Guerrieri (Greentown, PA) is first with six wins, pitcher Jake Heskett (Derwood, MD) is tops with 66 2/3 innings, catcher Marshall Awtry (Hockessin, DE) has new marks with a 23-game hitting streak and 13 home runs, and Michael Awtry (Hockessin, DE) is tops with three saves.

The Lightning are ranked 10th in the latest National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association East Region Poll.
