The Pirates pick up another honor to add to their historic 2021-22 year.
NORMAN, OKLA. – Seton Hall men's golf head coach Clay White has been named 2022 Golf Pride Grips Division I Northeast Region Coach of the Year.
Â
White, along with dedicated assistant coaches Ian Lagowitz and J.T. Harper, authored one of the greatest years in program history in 2021-22.Â
Â
For the first time in 22 years, White's Pirates won the BIG EAST Championship, besting tournament favorite Marquette by three strokes and defending champion Connecticut by 11 strokes. The Hall's 15-under-par, 288-283-278-849 is the second-lowest three-round par-72 score in program history. In all, the Pirates claimed the team title of four tournaments this year, which is second-most in a single academic year ever for Seton Hall.Â
Â
Seton Hall's 287.50 scoring average for the year is second-best in the BIG EAST Conference and shatters the program record by more than three full strokes. Furthermore, the Pirates set program records for total birdies, eagles and rounds of par or better in 2021-22. At the NCAA Yale Regional, the 12th-seeded Pirates finished eighth, besting several national powerhouses including No. 27 NC State and No. 31 Charlotte.
Â
The Hall finished the year with an 87 national Golfstat ranking, its highest ever.
