VALDOSTA —
Valdosta State junior Nate Anderson parlayed his medalist finish at the Gulf South Conference Championships into a spot on the All-GSC squad, according to an announcement made by the league office Monday.

Anderson has averaged 75.3 strokes per round on the season and has seen his score count in 26 out of 30 rounds on the season. He tallied two Top 20 finishes on the year, with his GSC Championship being the lone individual title recorded by a Blazer golfer this season.
