SOUTH KINGSTON, R.I. – UConn senior Drake Hull (Rutland, Vt.) and sophomore Jared Nelson (Rutland, Vt.) have been named to the 2020 All-New England Division I Golf Team from a vote by the New England Division I golf coaches.
It is the second straight All-New England Team honor for Hull and a first for Nelson. They are UConn's 15th and 16th All-New England selections under 13-year coach Dave Pezzino. UConn's 2020-21 season was halted after just seven events because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Hull was UConn's top scorer, averaging 73.2 strokes per round, with 10 rounds of par or better, including a low round of 68, one Top 10 and three Top 20 finishes. His best finish was a tie for fourth at the UConn Invitational at GreatHorse.
In his three-year UConn career, Hull participated in 30 events, averaging 72.6 strokes per round, with six Top 10 and 13 Top 20 finishes, and 45 rounds of par or better. He won the 2019 Rutherford Intercollegiate.
Nelson, who was in his first season at UConn after transferring from Siena, was second on the team in scoring this season, averaging 73.7 strokes per round, with two Top 10 finishes and seven rounds of par or better, including a low round of 65. His best finish was a tie for ninth in two different tournaments – the Hartford Hawks Invitational and the Health Plan Invitational.
