NORMAN, OK -- George Washington's Brian Carroll (Crystal Lake, IL/Crystal Lake South) and Andrew Gallo (Toronto, ONT/Crescent) have been named to the Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar Team, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced earlier this month.

Carroll, the Colonials' co-captain, was named the 2005 Atlantic 10 Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for men's golf. He competed in 14 tournaments during the 2004-05 season, placing among the top 10 seven times, including four second-place finishes. He also had three top-20 finishes. He led GW with a 74.59 stroke average over 30.5 rounds. He matched his season low round of 70 three times, including one at the Princeton Invitational to help George Washington to the team title.
Carroll maintains a 3.54 grade point average as a finance major. He has been a member of GW's Dean's List three semesters and the GW Athletic Dean's List all five semesters. He is also a three-time member of the A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll.

The Colonials' other co-captain, Gallo posted a 75.96 stroke average (third-best on team) after competing in 12 tournaments (27.5 rounds).
