NORMAN, Okla. - The accolades continue to come in for Western Washington men's golfer Jordan Lee, who has been selected as a member of the 2018-19 NCAA Division II All-Freshmen team by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

Lee finished his first collegiate season as the conference's leader in scoring average with 72.3 strokes per round. The freshman was named both the GNAC Player and Freshman of the Year in addition to earning GNAC first-team honors. He helped lead the Vikings to one of the most successful seasons in program history as the team amassed seven tournament titles throughout the year.

His best performance of the year came in the final round at the GNAC Championships (WWU's final title of the season), firing a final-round 66 (5-under-par) to finish tied for second on the individual leaderboard at Coeur d'Alene. The round was just one of 16 rounds on the 2018-19 campaign in which Lee finished with a score of par or lower.

He ultimately ended the year with a trio of top-three finishes, highlighted by an individual title back in October at the Concordia Invitational. Lee opened the tournament at Columbia Edgewater Country Club with scores of 67 and 66 to cruise to an eight-stroke victory in Portland.

Lee is joined by Lynn's Agustin Errarzuriz and Giovanni Manzoni, Valdosta State's Brock Healy and Missouri-St. Louis' Joel Sylvan on the All-Freshmen Team.
