MINNEAPOLIS -- For the second straight year, Augsburg University men's golfer Stellan Orvick (SO, Minneapolis, Minn./Washburn HS) earned All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors, while teammate Sawyer Bailey (SO, Eden Prairie, Minn./Minnetonka HS) was named to the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team, it was announced on Monday.

This season. Orvick paced the Auggies with a 75.20 stroke average (1,316 strokes, 17.5 rounds), the eighth-best single-season stroke average in Augsburg's modern men's golf history (since 1994-95). His 75.20 stroke average was 11th-best among all MIAC men's golfers this season. He finished in the top five individuals in five of his nine events this season, including earning co-medalist honors at the Bethel Spring Invitational on April 9-10. Orvick finished in a tie for 16th place at the MIAC Championships in October.

In his two seasons as an Auggie, Orvick has a 74.9 career stroke average (1,909 strokes, 25.5 rounds) and a .827 (672-141) win-loss percentage, with eight top-10 finishes and six top-five finishes in 13 career events. He earned All-MIAC and All-MIAC Championship honors with an eighth-place finish at the 2020-21 MIAC Championships. He later was named to the Golf Coaches Association of America/PING Division III All-Central Region Team, becoming the sixth Auggie in program history to earn All-Region honors since the 2015-16 campaign.

Bailey was named to the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team, as part of the conference's sportsmanship initiative. Members of the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team are selected by their coaches and teammates as individuals who demonstrate ideals of positive sportsmanship both on and off the field of competition.
