MACON, Ga. (March 4, 2009) - Facing elite competition at the Arizona Intercollegiate and Puerto Rico Classic, junior Seamus Power (Waterford, Ireland) posted a top-10 finish to earn the Atlantic Sun Conference men's Golfer of the Month honor for the month of February, the league office announced Wednesday. It is the fourth time in his career that Power has earned this honor.

Power put together back-to-back solid efforts for the Bucs in Arizona and Puerto Rico. In Arizona, the junior posted a second round 6-under-par 66 on his way to a score of 211 and a tie for 6th on the individual leaderboard. The Waterford, Ireland, native then fired a 4-under-par 68 in the third and final round of the Puerto Rico Classic, finishing that event tied for 21st. The accounting major faced golfers from five top-10 teams including No. 1 Georgia.

Power and his ETSU teammates will be in action once again later this week, as the Bucs return to the course March 8 in the General Hackler Invitational in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
