Eaton Golf Pride names Rick Pohle Northeast Region Coach of the Year
Head coach Rick Pohle ponders some strategy
Eaton Golf Pride has selected Rick Pohle of Williams college as
its 2008 Northeast Region Coach of the Year.
Pohle guided his Ephs to a record of 108-43 over the fall and
spring campaigns and the NESCAC title and the automatic berth in
the NCAA Tournament that goes to the NESCAC Champion.
Pohle's NESCAC title was his 10th in his 26 years at Williams and
it is the most by any school in NESCAC as is his Ephs making 10
NCAA Tournament appearances.

This year the Ephs won the Duke Nelson Tourney at Middlebury,
the Castleton State Invitational, the Indian Hills Classic and
their 11th consecutive Little Three title.
Pohle successfully combined experienced veterans with a talented
first year class in directing the Ephs to their first NCAA tourney
appearance since 2005. First years John Killea were honored as
All-NESCAC selections and also recognized as All-Northeast Region
players by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Other solid contributors to the Ephs' success in the first year
class included Drew Murray and Bob Camp.
From the five players representing the Ephs at this year's NCAA
Tournament Pohle will only have to replace one, graduating
co-captain Brendan Conley.
