Norman, Okla. - After his showcase freshman season, Adelphi University freshman Mitchell Archer has been selected to the 2025 NCAA Divsion II PING East All-Region Team, the organization announced on Wednesday afternoon. 

The DeWitt, N.Y. native capped off his rookie campaign this past weekend by helping his men's golf squad to a ninth place finish at the NCAA Atlantic/East Regional.

Archer's success didn't wait one minute, as he won his first ever collegiate tournament at the Franklin Pierce Fall Invitational after tallying a one-under 69 in the final round. With that under his belt, he won the individual crown at the NE10 Championships a month later, with the team earning a runner-up finish in the process. The honor earned him his third consecutive top-five finish. 

While teammate Francis Lanuza took home the win, he started off his spring season tying for second at the Saint Anselm Florida Invitational to start his spring season. The Jamesville-DeWitt High School graduate garnered a four-under 68 in the opening round. 

Two top 15 finishes, one of them being at an all Division I tournament hosted by Long Island University, solidified his stellar rookie year. 

Head Coach David Mattana and the Panthers now brace for the Division II National Championships, where junior Johnny Solari will be competing in Palm Beach, Fla.. Play will commence from PGA National Resort on Monday, May 19 and conclude on Friday, May 23
