ANNVILLE,
PA --- Moravian College senior Brian Bergstol (Mt. Bethel,
PA/Bangor HS) has been named the 2007 Middle Atlantic States
Collegiate Athletic Corporation Scholar-Athlete in the sport of
golf.
The MASCAC recognizes one athlete for each of its 22 sports as
its Scholar-Athlete Award winner. The nominee must be a senior,
have participated in his or her sport during the season in which
the award is given, and must have a minimum cumulative grade-point
average of 3.20. The award is based on three criteria: academic
achievement, athletics excellence, and service and leadership. The
student-athletes will receive their awards at the MASCAC Awards
Luncheon at Widener University on May 8th.
Bergstol, who has a 3.51 GPA and is majoring

conference championships.
Bergstol has been on the PING/Golf Coaches Association
All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team the last three years, and he earned
spots on the Commonwealth All-Conference First Team in 2007, 2006
and 2004. Bergstol’s 71.93 stroke average
for the 2006-07 season breaks his own school by over two and a half
