Rutgers-Camden Athletics

The Rutgers-Camden golf program knew it was getting a top-notch player when Richard Stolz transferred to the campus last season from national powerhouse Methodist University. Stolz was everything the Scarlet Raptors could imagine and more, as he turned in a phenomenal junior year at Rutgers-Camden on his way to earning berths on the Division III PING All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team and the North Eastern Athletic Conference First Team.
 
Named Rutgers-Camden’s Most Valuable Player, Stolz was a five-time medalist, a five-time NEAC Golfer of the Week and averaged a stellar 77.3 in his combined 14 rounds over the fall and spring semesters.
 
Stolz continued his success during the 2018 fall semester, capturing two medalist honors and a pair of NEAC Golfer of the Week awards. In his 20 rounds at Rutgers-Camden, he owns a career average of 76.4.
