ROLLA, Mo. – For the first time since the reinstatement of men's golf at Missouri S&T, the Miners find themselves ranked among the top 25 teams in NCAA Division II in the latest Golfstat rankings.

The Miners entered the rankings at No. 25 this week based on a solid start to the 2022-23 season, as they have third or above in all three tournaments they have taken part in this season.  S&T finished second in the Arch Cup to begin the season, then won the Watkins Invitational in Winona, Minn., before finishing in a tie for third last week at the Midwest Regional Tournament in Springfield, Ill.

The Miners are one of three teams in the Great Lakes Valley Conference in the rankings this week, joining Missouri-St. Louis and McKendree as UMSL is ranked ninth and McKendree 23^rd.

Missouri S&T will return to play next Monday and Tuesday at the McKendree Invitational, which will be played at Far Oaks Golf Club in Collinsville, Ill.
