CSUEB Golfers Stone, Hebert Earn All-CCAA Honors
- May 1, 2015
HAYWARD, Calif. -- Cal State East Bay sophomore Adam Stone was voted to the 2014-15 All-California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) First Team, the conference office announced Tuesday. Senior A.J. Hebert was also honored as an All-CCAA Honorable Mention selection.
Stone is the first Pioneer to make the first team since Chris Herzog in 2012-13. He has had an impressive sophomore season, leading the team and ranking fourth among CCAA players with a 73.27 scoring average. Stone finished in the top 10 of four tournaments this season and captured individual championships at the Chico State Wildcat Classic and the UC San Diego SoCal Intercollegiate.
Hebert nabs an All-CCAA selection in his fourth and best year with the Pioneers. The Pleasanton native posted a 74.80 scoring average and three top-10 finishes, and he shot the team's lowest single round of the year with a 65 at the Coyote Classic in San Bernardino.
The two left-handers led East Bay to an impressive run at last week's CCAA Championships in Stockton. They helped the Pioneers card their two best team rounds of the season — back-to-back totals of 287 (-1) — in stroke play to advance to the medal round. Stone then shot 66 (-6) to defeat Alistair Docherty in the semifinals against Chico State and 72 (E) to beat Jarhaan Nargussi in the championship finals against Cal State Stanislaus. Hebert, meanwhile, fired two straight rounds of 69 (-3) at Brookside Country Club, earning half a point in the final against CSUS's Connor Day.
The All-CCAA teams are voted on by the conference's eight head coaches.
