Eichhorn notched his second straight season with a sub-72 scoring average, finishing the year at 71.58 (-0.15 versus par) with 20 rounds at par or lower out of 33 total.Ā Eichhorn will enter his junior year holding Marquette's second-lowest career scoring average.Ā After posting MU's best finish in the NCAA Austin Regional (T-18, 216), Eichhorn is also poised to conclude the season ranked in the nation's top-100 players once final rankings are released.
In total, 25 players were selected to the All-Midwest Region team.
This past season marked the second straight year that two Golden Eagles earned GCAA all-region honors - Eichhorn and Matt Murlick were all-region selections in 2017-18.
