The No. 12 Wake Forest men's golf team can add one more piece of hardware to the trophy case as the team was honored by Team Effort for its win at the NCAA Central Regional in Columbus, Ohio.

Regional Champions and Medalists for NCAA Divisions I and II were recognized. Teams and individuals for the three regions in Division I and ten Division II regions received Team Effort Regional Champion and Regional Medalist awards.
