East Lansing, Mich. – Michigan State men's golfers Caleb Bond and Lorenzo Pinili earned All-Big Ten Conference honors in a vote of the league's coaches.
Bond and Pinili helped lead the Spartans to a third-place finish among 18 teams at last week's Big Ten Championships and to the program's fourth-straight NCAA Regional appearance this season. Michigan State, which has been part of nine of the last 10 NCAA Regionals, will play in the Tallahassee (Fla.) Regional from Monday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 14.
MSU features a young lineup with a junior transfer, two sophomores and two freshmen in the counting five.
Bond, a junior who transferred to Michigan State after two years at Division II Ferris State, is second on the team with a 71.53 scoring average, including a 70.45 average in the spring with seven top-20 finishes and four among the top-10. He has been the team's top finisher in four events this spring.
