Sewell, Fanfelle collect All-Conference USA accolades - UTSA Athletics

DALLAS — UTSA's Chad Sewell and Christian Fanfelle have earned All-Conference USA accolades, as the league office on Tuesday unveiled its men's golf postseason awards.
 
Sewell was named first-team all-conference, his first career C-USA postseason honor, while Fanfelle earned a spot on the second team for his third career conference postseason award, as he was a third-team selection a year ago after making the C-USA All-Freshman Team in 2018-19.
 
Sewell leads the Roadrunners with a 72.78 stroke average this season. The senior from Conroe owns four top-20 finishes including a top 10 that came when he fired a 1-over-par 214 (73-70-71) to tie for seventh place and lead UTSA to a runner-up team showing at the Trinity Forest Invitational. Sewell earned C-USA Golfer of the Week honors for that performance.
 
Sewell opened the 2021 campaign by grabbing a share of 15th with a 220 (75-71-74) at the Border Olympics before carding a 218 (77-70-71) for 17th at the Cabo Collegiate at TPC San Antonio to help the Roadrunners finish ahead of five ranked teams, including then-No. 1 Arizona. He was the top Roadrunner at the C-USA Championship, placing 12th with a 2-under 214 (68-74-72) in his last outing.
 
Fanfelle stands second on the squad with a 73.33 scoring average and he has logged five top-25 finishes in six events in 2021. The junior from San Antonio fired a 2-under 214 (71-75-68) to tie for 16th at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic and he turned in his top finish of 13th after posting a 217 (77-69-71) at the Cabo Collegiate at TPC San Antonio.
 
Fanfelle opened the year by claiming a share of 25th at the Border Olympics after carding a 223 (78-74-71). He tied for 23rd with a 217 (73-72-72) at the C-USA Championship last week.
 
With this year's pair of accolades, UTSA now has earned 39 all-conference certificates in its history, including 12 under 13th-year head coach John Knauer.
 
The Roadrunners will await word of a potential NCAA postseason berth when the Golf Channel airs the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships Selections Show at 1 p.m. CT Wednesday.
