Graduate picks up honor for third time in his career
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ball State men's golfer Joey Ranieri was named the Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday.
Ranieri picked up the honor for the third time in his career - Sept. 19, 2019 and Sept. 9, 2021 - and is the second Cardinal to earn the award this season, joining Joey Wiseman (Sept. 7).
The Zionsville, Ind. native led Ball State with a sixth-place finish at 4-under (66-73-70--209) at the Bearcat Invitational earlier this week out of a field of 76.
Ranieri racked up 37 pars, 10 birdies and an eagle in his 54-hole tournament. In addition, he shot 3-under on par-5s, even par on par-4s and 1-under on par-3s. Ranieri was one of only four golfers to finish under par on par-3s.
Ranieri guided the Cardinals, who were just one shot back of Memphis, to finish ahead of major conference foes Iowa and Kentucky, in addition to Sam Houston State, which was a recent NCAA Championship finalist.
Ball State returns to action Oct. 10-11 for the Purdue Fall Invitational.
