FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern men’s golf program concluded the first half of its season in November, and now, it looks forward to the second half of its season, beginning with the Matlock Collegiate Classic in Lakeland, Fla., on Monday, February 6. The Sharks impressed in the fall season, placing top-3 in three out of its four events in that timeframe. The outstanding performance thus far has been recognized, as Coach Joey Marino‘s Sharks are the No. 10 team in Division-II according to GolfStat.
 
The Sharks are led by four national top-100 golfers (Golfstat), with graduate transfer Will O’Neill (No. 36), seniors Emanuel Olofsson (No. 67) and Mike Hay (No. 77) and the reigning Phil Mickelson Outstanding Freshman of the Year – Josep Serra (No. 97). The four golfers give the Sharks a consistent, well-rounded team. In fact, the Sharks are tied with Barry for the most top-100 players in the Sunshine State Conference.
 
“We have a lot of solid senior leadership,” said Marino. “O’Neill is a one-year graduate transfer; he’s been a great addition to the team. Olofsson and Hay, with them having been here already for four years, they know how we do things. It’s been great. Serra was the national freshman of the year last year, so he’s just kind of building on that.”
 
Nova Southeastern ended the fall season on a high note, grabbing 2nd place at the Citrus Intercollegiate Invitational that ended on Nov. 1, 2022. With the conclusion of the fall portion of the season, the Sharks will return to the course on Feb. 5 in the Matlock Collegiate Classic at the Lone Palm Golf Club in Lakeland, Fla. Having 96 days in between tournaments isn’t easy, but Marino is hoping to bring the strong momentum and confidence into the new year, while also giving his players a well-needed break.
 
“I just think that if we can start off the next part of the season with just the confidence that we had at the last event, we should always find ourselves in a position to win,” added Marino. “We do have a little break here, and a lot of them, I’ve kind of told them to take that time to reset a little bit and evaluate what we need to work on.”
 
Despite the great performances so far, Marino believes that there is still room to grow before the return to the course and the chase to the national championship resumes. In fact, the Sharks have three tournaments scheduled in February, all within just over 21 days.
 
“I think we always just got to continue to improve on course decisions. Wedge game, for example,” continued Marino. “We have a lot of confidence right now after that event going into to the spring and I think, you know, we’ve definitely got a solid group so I’m excited to see where we can take it from here”
 
The Sharks travel to Lakeland to compete in the Matlock Collegiate Classic at the Lone Palm Golf Club in Lakeland, Fla on Feb. 5. To stay up-to-date on the Nova Southeastern Men’s Golf team, be sure to follow on Twitter and Instagram @NSU_MGolf.
