ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - St. Bonaventure senior captain Ben Howe has been named to the Atlantic 10 Golf Academic All-Conference team in a vote by conference sports information directors.

Howe, who graduated this past weekend with a degree in marketing, maintained a 3.3 cumulative grade point average (GPA).

The Osceola, Pa. native led the Bonnies to a program-best third place finish at this year's A-10 Championships and a combined four team tournament titles in the fall and spring. At A-10's in Florida, Howe fired a 69-75-71/215 to finish one-under par and in a tie for 13th place.

Howe posted a career-best 75.3 average over 24 rounds this season. His season-low two-under par 68 in the final round of the Leo Keenan Invitational led the Bonnies to their second-straight tournament title. Howe finished with 23 rounds in the 70s or lower and cracked the top 20 in four tournaments.
