ASton, Pa. - Neumann College's Mark Van Vliet (Jr, Dorchester, Ontario/ Quinnipiac) was named the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) Golfer of the Week for the week ending April 15th.  Van Vliet averaged a sub-80 (79.5) score for the week and his 77 score at the Holy Family Invitational earned first place honors.

 

"It is a pleasure to coach a player with the skill and character of Mr. Van Vliet," states Head Coach Frank Sill.

 

This is one of many accolades Van Vliet has earned only one year into becoming a Knight.  Van Vliet is apart of the nationally ranked Neumann College ice hockey team earning honors such as ECAC Player of the Week, ECAC West All-Conference and most recently he was named to the 2007 ECAC West All-Academic Team.

 

Van Vliet continues to make a huge impact on Neumann College Athletics and according to Head Coach Frank Sill, "Mark has swiftly earned a spot on the golf team's prestigious top five line."  The Knights have placed first or second in the last three of four matches played and Mark has been a top finisher in the last two matches played.

 

This is the first PAC honor for the Dochester, Ontario native and the first PAC nod for the Knights this season.
