KINGSTON, R.I. -- Two members of the Rhode Island golf team were named to the 2009 Division I Ping All-Northeast Region team.

Freshman Taylor Fontaine and senior Mark Stevens were both honored for their outstanding play during the 2009 spring season.

Stevens closed out his outstanding Rhode Island career with a tie for 12th place at the A-10 Championship, carding a total of 224 strokes (73-78-73). This marks Stevens' second Ping All-Region team selection.

Fontaine and Stevens finished among the top two golfers for URI throughout the 2009 spring campaign.
