----David Shearer

By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Northern Kentucky University's David Shearer was named to the Golf Coaches Association of America's PING Division II All-American team.

Shearer was a leader for the NKU men's golf squad this season, taking the GLVC Player of the Year award for the third consecutive season en route to NKU's second straight GLVC title. Shearer shot a 3-over par 219 at Otter Creek to earn the medal.

Shearer also medaled in a dual match against Bellarmine on Oct. 1. The senior's 4-under-par 67 matched his best performance of the season, which he accomplished at Morehead State Sept. 4-5 and again at the Riverman Invitational Oct 9-10, an event the Norse won. His 140 at the Riverman was good for a second place finish.

Shearer also placed second at the NKU Fall Invitational, Oct. 10-11, shooting a 2-under-par 142 in the event.
