Jasinski voted to first team, Dunn and Lupinek earn second team honors 

RINDGE, N.H. (November 13, 2006) - Three members of the Franklin Pierce men's golf team earned Northeast-10 Conference All-Academic honors. They were selected in a vote of the Conference's 15 member sports information directors.

Junior Craig Jasinski (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford) earned first team All-Academic honors, while sophomores Corey Dunn (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Comsewogue) and Josh Lupinek (East Haddam, Conn./Nathan Hale-Ray) were selected to the second team. The trio are the most Franklin Pierce golfers to earn All-Academic honors in the three years since the program was initiated.   

Jasinski collects All-Academic honors for the first time and has earned a 3.472 cumulative grade point average while majoring in sports and recreation management at the College. Jasinski competed in seven of Franklin Pierce's eight events this fall and was second on the team with an 84.12 stroke average over 10.5 rounds of competition.

Jasinski placed fifth at the season-opening Franklin Pierce Fall Invitational, carding a round of 83. He led all Ravens with a two-day score of 160, including a season-low score of 79 on day two, to place 64^th overall at the ECAC Division II Championships. Jasinski placed 18^th overall with a round of 83 at the Assumption Division II Shootout and finished 43^rd overall (third on the team) at the Northeast-10 Championships with a two-day score of 127, which included an even-par 36 over nine holes in a rain-shortened second round.

Jasinski was third on the team with an 83.64 stroke average, competing in seven of Franklin Pierce's 12 events in 2005-06. He had his year hampered with a separated shoulder, but carded a career-best round of 75 on day one of the NE-10 Championships. Jasinski competed in six of the Ravens seven events as a freshman in 2004-05 with an 84.44 stroke average.            

Dunn also earns All-Academic honors for the first time having earned a 3.29 cumulative grade point average while majoring in management at the College. He is fourth on the team with an 84.57 stroke average over 10.5 rounds while competing in seven of Franklin Pierce's eight fall events. Dunn is also the men's golf team's representative on Franklin Pierce Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).

Dunn led the Ravens with a 39^th-place finish overall at the Northeast-10 Championships with a two-day score of 123, including a career-low round of 80 on day one. He was second on the team (12^th overall) after carding an 83 at the Saint Anselm Autumn Invitational.

Dunn ranked second on the team with an 84.56 stroke average while competing in seven of Franklin Pierce's 12 events in 2005-06, including an 83.80 average (third on the team) in the Ravens six spring events. He carded a season-low 81 at three different events, including a second-place finish at the Franklin Pierce Spring Invitational and an eighth-place showing at the UMass Lowell River Hawk Spring Invitational.            

Lupinek is also a first-time All-Academic honoree and has earned a 3.86 cumulative grade point average while majoring in business management at the College. He boasts the top GPA among the ten golfers named to the first and second teams.

A sophomore class senator, Lupinek has earned Dean's List honors both semesters at the College and was an NE-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll Gold Scholar in 2005-06. He is an Alumni Association Scholarship recipient and member of the Franklin Pierce ice hockey team as well.

Lupinek posted an 86.75 stroke average over four rounds while competing in four of the Ravens eight events this fall. He placed seventh overall with a team and career-low round of 79 at the Saint Anselm Autumn Invitational. Lupinek competed in five of the Ravens six spring events last year, carding a season-low round of 86 at the Elms College Invitational.
