Pier selected MIAA Golfer of the Week

HUDSONVILLE, Mich. – The University of Olivet freshman Zachary Pier has been selected the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Men's Golfer of the Week.

Pier earned medalist honors at the Comets' home tournament, the Lou Collins Memorial at the Bedford Valley Country Club. After shooting a one-over par 73 in the first round, he dropped two strokes off in the second round for one-under par 71 in the second round. The 144 total edged two golfers for first place. Over the 36 holes, Pier tallied 11 birdies, 15 pars, nine bogies and one double bogey.

"I am excited for Zach," said Olivet head coach Bill Maas. "He played exceptionally well for his first-ever collegiate round of golf. I don't think a freshman has ever won the Lou Collins so for him to do it is a special thing."

Pier and the Comets travel to Jackson tomorrow for the Cascades Clash, hosted by Albion College.
