Liberty finished the 2018-19 academic year with 3.13 team GPA. The Flames were also named to the GCAA All-Academic Team in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014.
On the course, the Flames had one of the most historic seasons in program history. Liberty was consistently ranked inside the Golfstat top 25 national rankings all season, including a program-best No. 18 in March. Liberty finished the year ranked No. 22 in the final Golfstat national rankings.
The Flames earned the program’s eighth NCAA Regional appearance in the last nine years. Liberty finished in fifth place at the NCAA Athens Regional, pushing the program to the national championship for the second time in school history.
