HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"Ryan has had a great spring semester. He performed very consistently in all six starts. Although he didn't get a win, he led two tournaments through two-and-a-half rounds and had two top-5 finishes. He has worked hard on his game all year and deserves this honor of being recognized as one of the better players in the conference."
