HELENA -- Three Montana Tech men's golfers earned spots on the All-Frontier Conference postseason teams, the conference announced Wednesday.
Carson Hupka and
Joe McGreevey were named to the second team, and
Colin Wade landed an honorable mention.
The all-conference teams were selected by players' scores over nine rounds — six from the league's two regular-season tournaments and three from last week's conference championships at Papago Golf Club in Phoenix, Ariz. The top six scoring averages from those three tournaments earned first-team honors, the next six second-team, and the third six honorable mention.
McGreevey, a junior from Helena, played to a 75.44 scoring average during the conference season, including three rounds at or below par. He finished 14th at the Dickinson State Invitational (with two rounds under par) and 29th at the Beartooth Invitational back in September before playing to an eighth-place finish at the championships, which included an even-par 72 in his final round of the season.
Hupka, a sophomore from Polson, finished the campaign with a 75.56 scoring average to join McGreevey on the second team. He carded top-15 finishes in both fall tournaments (11th and 1-under-par in Dickinson, N.D., and tied for 14th at 7-over in Laurel) before wrapping up the championship's three rounds in a tie for 28th place.
Wade, a sophomore from Bigfork, finished the nine rounds at 77.22 strokes per 18 holes. He was 29th in Dickinson, tied for 22nd at the Beartooth Invitational, and tied for 16th at the Frontier Championship. Wade's best round of the season came in Round 1 at Laurel, where he was 1-over-par 73.
The Orediggers' three all-conference performers are the program's most since the 2022-23 season.
Montana Tech wrapped up the Frontier tournament last week in fifth place on the team leaderboard.
