Freshman earns his first career weekly conference accolade

CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) - Eastern Michigan University freshman Joey Kremer (Toronto, Ontario, Canada-Senator O'Connor) was named Mid-American Conference Men's Golfer of the Week for the period ending March 5. This marks the first time in his career he has collected the weekly award.

Kremer turned in his first career top-45 showing, finishing tied for 44th place at the 2014 USF Invitational, March 2-5. The Toronto, Ontario native carded a personal-best 70 in the final round to finish with a one-over 217 (76-71-70).

As a team, the Eagles closed out strong with a final round 286 to finish in 13th place with a three-day mark of 873 (293-294-286). The final round tally is tied for the second-lowest 18-hole round this season, bettered only by a 282 in the third round of the Wolverine Intercollegiate, Sept. 17.

Head Coach Bruce Cunningham and the Eagles will remain in the Sunshine State for the Talis Park Challenge, March 16-17, in Naples, Fla.
