Tyler Cudnik

Elms College freshman golfer Tyler Cudnik (Hampden, Mass.) was chosen as this week's male student athlete spotlight.

Cudnik is in his first season as a member of the Blazers' men's golf team and is majoring in accounting at Elms.

In his debut season, Cudnik competed in seven rounds of golf and shot a season-best 79 in each of his first two outings during the fall at the first Blazer Invitational and the Nichols Invitational. Cudnik's 79 at Nichols was Elms' lowest score of the day, helping the Blazers claim third place honors.
