Moon Township, Pa.-Robert Morris
University junior Brock Pompeani (Aliquippa, Pa. / Hopewell) was named to the
Northeast Conference Men's Golf All-Conference First Team for his work during
the 2011-12 campaign. The achievement is the first for Pompeani while it gives
the Colonials a first-team all-conference golfer for the third consecutive
season.
Pompeani averaged 74.8 strokes per round, the
second-lowest total in team history. Incredibly consistent, the Aliquippa-native
shot over 79 just once in 19 rounds while carding a low round of two-under par
70 at the Maryland Intercollegiate back on September 12. He had three under-par
rounds during the season.
The junior had four top-10 finishes - three of those were
actually top-fives - including a seventh-place showing at the 2012 NEC
Championships. Pompeani took second at the team's home event, the RMU Holiday
Inn Pittsburgh Airport Colonial Classic, coming home in two-over par for 36
holes. He also finished two-over par to take fifth at the 23rd Annual Leo Keenan Invitational. In the first match of the spring season,
Pompeani was third at the Lonnie Barton Invitational in Savannah, Ga.
In three seasons, Pompeani has won two tournaments and
placed in the top-10 nine times in 27 events, third in the RMU record books.
His 76.5 average for his career is the second-lowest in team history.
