Three Malone University men's golf team student-athletes were named to the First and Second Team NAIA All-America Teams as announced by the NAIA yesterday afternoon.

Justin Lower, last year's NAIA individual national champion, earned his fourth consecutive NAIA All-America honor after being named to the First Team for a third straight year. Lower, who was voted to the Third Team as a freshman, recently finished third overall (among 150 golfers) at the NAIA National Championships and paced Malone to a fourth-place national finish. Lower was among only three NAIA All-Americans in 2011 who were four-time honorees of the All-America award. This year, fifteen student-athletes were named to the First Team and 15 were voted to the Second Team.

Tyler Light and Richie Schembechler were both named to the NAIA All-America Second Team. For Light, who placed 24^th overall at this year's NAIA national event, it was his second straight NAIA All-America honor after he earned Third Team accolades as a freshman last year. Schembechler, who finished 23^rd overall at NAIA nationals, earned the NAIA All-America distinction for the first time this season.

Quinn Parker, who also competed for Malone at the NAIA national event last week, was selected as an Daktronics-NAIA Men's Golf Scholar Athlete. To be eligible for this award, student-athletes must be a junior or senior and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.50.
