Westerville, Ohio - Junior Adam Balls and senior Justin Gillham were recognized by the Mid-American Conference on the final day of the 2002 men's golf championships on May 4.

Balls was named to the All-MAC second team after finishing tied for ninth place with a four-round score of 294 (71-74-75-74). It was the best finish by Balls at the MAC Championship in his career. Balls is the first Falcon to earn first or second-team honors by the MAC since Nick Myers was a first-team selection in 1995.

At the ceremonies held after the final round, senior Justin Gillham was honored with the MAC's 2002 Sportsman of the Year award. Gillham is just the third Falcon to earn the distinguished award. The others were Dan Connelly (1984) and BGSU men's coach Garry Winger (1994).
