BOULDER CITY, Nev. - The second-ranked Florida Southern College men's golf team won its 14th NCAA National Championship at Boulder Creek Golf Club on Friday afternoon. The Moccasins defeated Wingate 3-2 to pick up Florida Southern's 31st National Championship, and first since men's golf won in 2017.

At the NCAA Nationals, Florida Southern advanced with a 3-2 win over Colorado Christian with Swartz earning points with a 4-under 66 in his matchup with six birdies for the day.

In the semifinal, a 4-1 win over Lee University, Swartz shot a career best of 64 as all Florida Southern golfers shot under par for the win.

For Swartz, who faced off against the top-ranked golfer in NCAA Division II, Drew Zielinski of Lee, a bogey free round and eight birdies got him to his 64-69 winning score. Swartz won 66-72 in his quarterfinal round the day before.

In 2025, Swartz, in his sophomore season, was a PING First Team All America selection and a PING All-South Region as well as the Sunshine State Conference Golfer of the Year and a select on the All-Sunshine State Conference First Team. Florida Southern finished in the Division II quarterfinals last year.
