NORMAN, Okla – Two Loyola University Maryland golfers, Nick Mejia and Evan Brown were named Srixon/Cleveland All-American Scholars this week by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) for excellence on the course and in the classroom.

Both graduated from Loyola in May 2021, and Mejia will continue at the university as a graduate student, playing in 2021-2022 for the Greyhounds.

The pair helped Loyola win its fourth Patriot League title in May and advance to its 10th NCAA Regional.

Mejia played in the ECU Intercollegaite and Tar Hell Intercollegiate in March before returning to the course for the Patriot League Championships where he tied for 21st, his best finish of the season.

At the Patriot League tournament, Mejia shot an opening-round 3-over 73 to tie for his best 18 holes of the season. He later played in the opening round of the NCAA Kingston Springs Regional.

Last month, Brown became Loyola's first-ever GCAA All-American in golf, earning Honorable Mention after breaking his own school scoring record with an average of 70.90, five-hundredths of the mark he set in 2019-20 (70.95).

He posted five top-five finishes and six in the top-10, and he finished in the top-20 of all seven events the Greyhounds participated in this year. Twelve of his 21 rounds were at par or better, and he did not have a round of worse than 3-over par. At the NCAA Kingston Springs Regional, Brown finished his Loyola playing career by tying for eighth place.
Brown won his second career collegiate tournament in April at Penn State's Rutherford Intercollegiate with a tournament-record score of 11-under, and he then was second at the Patriot League Championships.
