DURANGO, Colo. — Gavin Lyons and David Schroeder — two players who led Fort Lewis College to the 2010-11 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular season championship —shared the Skyhawk golf team's Most Valuable Player Award at the 2011 Skyhawk Awards Banquet, held April 7 at the Student Union Ballroom.

“Both of them have been four-year starters,” said FLC head golf coach Bud Andersen. “David has probably been the most consistent player that I've ever coached. Gavin is just playing really good golf right now. It's good to see it happen right now at crunch time.”

Lyons, a senior from the Scottsdale Christian Academy in Scottsdale, Ariz., was co-medalist at the RMAC Men's Golf Championship, a member of the RMAC All-Tournament Team, a first-team All-RMAC selection (for the second year in a row) and an RMAC All-Academic pick (for the third time). He shot 204 (-8) in three rounds on the par-72 Wigwam Golf Course in Litchfield Park, Ariz., on April 18-19 and turned in his three lowest rounds of the year: 69, 68 and 67.

In 24 rounds thus far in the 2010-11 campaign, Lyons has averaged 74.08 strokes per 18 holes.

Schroeder, a senior from Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs, was named to the All-RMAC second team for the third time in his career. He averaged 73.48 strokes per 18 holes during the 2010-11 season and finished 18th (216, +4) at the RMAC Championships.

The Skyhawks are seeded second in the NCAA Division II Central/West SuperRegional on May 1-4 at the University of New Mexico Championship Golf Course in Albuquerque.

The top five teams and the top two student-athletes not with a team from each regional (regardless of region) will advance to the NCAA Division II National Championships, held May 16-20 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at The Shoals in Florence, Ala. The finals will be hosted by the University of North Alabama.
