Eph Freshmen Named to Golf Association Team
 |
Eph freshman Jack Ervasti (Brooklyn, N.Y.) was named as the GCAA’s Northeast Regional honoree. The All-Freshmen Team also includes Wesley’s Robert Ehrhardt (Mid-Atlantic), Noah Ratner of Guilford (South), DePauw’s Nick Reardon (Great Lakes), Mark Giorgi of Saint John’s (Central) and UT-Tyler’s Joey Rippel (West).
Ervasti made an immediate impression on the Eph team as he fired a 146 in the two-day Fall Invite, opening with a 70 and finishing with a 76 and tied for 11th overall. He also tied for 11th and recorded the best Eph score at the fall Hamilton Invite when he shot 77-78 for 155.
"Jack has been a steady and consistent performer for our team all year long," stated Eph head coach Rick Pohle. "From his arrival on campus in the fall, it was evident that he was going to be a contributor. It was just a matter of time before he would crack the line-up."
Ervasti’s best spring showing came at The Taconic Golf club when he tied for fourth place in the Eph Spring Invite shooting 77-75 for 152.
In 13 competitive rounds for the Ephs Ervasti averaged 77.5 a round.
"Jack is a two-sport star at Williams (golf/squash) and has all the tools to join some of our best players in the program as he matures," said Pohle. "As with most college golfers, the biggest pitfalls are expectations and handling adversity on the golf course - this ultimately determines how well players improve in the game. I am looking forward to his contributions for three more years and how he influences the players that follow him in our program."
