Conor Gronbach was named a third team All-American, while eight Bulldogs earned all-conference accolades, with Chris Gazzio earning Gronbach as a first team honoree.
Wingate went 13-4 in Boyle’s first season in 2017 as the Bulldogs earned their first trip to the NCAA play-offs since 2001 and just the second in program history. Wingate’s victory at Queens in the SAC title game gave the ‘Dogs their first ever SAC championship. The Bulldogs were ranked number nine nationally in the final regular season poll. Eleven student-athletes made the All-SAC team, led by senior attack Austin Murphy (’17), who led the league in total points and assists.
