Few golfers dominated the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) the way Robert Newcomb did during a three-year span. A three-time GNAC All-Conference selection, he was GNAC Player of the Year in 2008 and runner-up the following year. As a senior he placed second at the ECAC Championships. During his career, Newcomb won four tournaments and finished in the top 10 ten times. As a senior, he earned Golf Coaches Association of America/Cleveland Golf Academic All-America honors. A two-time team captain, Newcomb was a part of four GNAC Championships teams. He was honored his senior year with the athletic department’s Ron Bachman award, which is given to the student-athlete who has excelled both academically and athletically while demonstrating outstanding leadership on and off the playing field.
