With three overall selections, the Christopher Newport University golf team had the most players on the 2014 Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) College Division All-State Golf teams, released early Tuesday morning. Senior Jonathan Howard led the way as a first team All-State selection, while Matt DiSalvo and Sam Robinson were each tabbed as second team All-State picks. 

It is the second straight year the Captains featured a first team All-State selection as Howard joins Brian Jaeger as the only first team All-State picks in program history. The Ashburn, Va. native was the CAC Player of the Year after winning the Conference Championship Tournament. It was his first career win and the Captains' first conference champion since John Kokoruda in 1976. Howard ranked second on the team in stroke average, with a 76.5 mark, and added a pair of top ten finishes in 2013-14. In the fall, Howard finished tied for seventh in a field of primarily NCAA Division I players at the George Mason Patriot Intercollegiate, including a season-low round of 70 on the opening round of competition. 

DiSalvo, a sophomore, and Robinson, a junior, each collected second team All-State honors. DiSalvo led the Captains with a 75.8 stroke average in 2013-14 and was a first team All-Conference selection. Robinson also was named a first team All-CAC selection after posting a 76.8 stroke average in 16 rounds this season. Both players finished with a pair of top ten finishes, as DiSalvo finished third in the West Cup and Robinson finished fourth in the CAC Championship.

The Captains captured their first Capital Athletic Conference Championship in the Spring, and averaged 306.1 as a team.
