BURNSVILLE, Minn.--Augustana sophomore Will Allen was selected as the Vikings' Preseason Golfer to Watch. The Augustana men's golf team was selected seventh overall in this season's NSIC Preseason Coaches poll. 

Augustana men's golf competed the 2021-22 season at the NSIC Championships, finishing seventh in the field. The Vikings totaled 925 points at the tournament. The team's best finish came at the UMary Invite in September of 2021, placing first out of five teams. 

Six golfers are returning from the previous season, with the addition of four golfers to the 2022-23 roster. Coralee Jorgensen was promoted to the Director of Golf position, and Mike Krsnak was named the head coach of the men's golf team during the offseason.

"We have four new players that are solid individuals. Add to this mix, our six returnees and the team will be outstanding." said Jorgensen.

Allen returns after leading the Vikings last season, placing first at the UMary Invite recording 71 in the first round and 73 strokes in the second round. The sophomore averaged 77.90 strokes per round and had a season low of 71 strokes at the UMary Invite. Allen had one top-five finish and three top-10 finishes.

"Will Allen knows the time and commitment needed to excel in collegiate golf. We have witnessed his hard work to improve. Most importantly, Will has a solid mindset and doesn't get rattled with obstacles. He has proved to be a team player and will work hard for the team to be the best in the NSIC," added Jorgensen.

Augustana has six events scheduled for the fall of 2022, with the season beginning at the Super Regional Fall Preview, hosted by Winona State.
