West Virginia senior Mark Goetz was named to the Division I PING All-Midwest Region Team, announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

Goetz is the second player in school history named to the PING All-Midwest Region Team. Matthew Sharpstene earned the same honor in 2019.

The Greensburg native and Kiski School grad was WVU’s first NCAA Regional qualifier this season, finishing second at 8-under-par in the NCAA Regional in Noblesville, Ind., just missing a spot in the NCAA championship.

Goetz will return to WVU for another season in 2021-22.
