Kinzer,
a native of Signal
Mountain, Tenn., led the Pioneers in scoring with a 76.26
stroke average as he recorded three top 10 finishes. One of those top 10 showings came at the Tusculum
Invitational where he captured medalist honors. Kinzer finished sixth
at the Accusport Intercollegiate and tied for ninth
at the season-opening Kiawah Island Invitational.
Dibble, who is in his 16th
season at Tusculum, earns the SAC Men's Golf Coach of the
Year award for a second time. He guided
the Pioneers to five top-five tournament finishes, including a first place
showing at the Tusculum Invitational. Dibble
earned this honor in 2003 and has been named conference coach of the year
an amazing eight times.
Tusculum is currently listed No. 6 in the latest
NCAA Division II Southeast Region rankings.
At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams in the region
will advance to the NCAA Tournament. The
Pioneers will compete at the 2006 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Golf
Championship, next week in Hickory,
