NORMAN, Okla.—Babson College head men's golf coach Jeff Page was selected as the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Division III Region I Coach of the Year presented by Golf Pride Grips on Wednesday afternoon. 

Page, who was tabbed as the GCAA Region I Coach of the Year for the third consecutive season and fourth time since 2017, after leading the Beavers to a pair of wins, four top-three results and two other top-six finishes in eight tournaments during the 2023-24 campaign. Babson opened the season with back-to-back victories at Middlebury's Duke Nelson Invitational and the Williams Invitational in September, which was followed by a second-place showing at the West Pines Collegiate in early October. 

The Beavers also tied for eighth at the NCAA Fall Preview outside of Las Vegas to end the fall, placed fifth at the Camp Lejeune Intercollegiate in early April and concluded the regular season with a third-place finish at the Cochran Collegiate in Memphis. 

Under Page's tutelage, Babson finished with a team scoring average below 300 for the fifth consecutive season and finished 19th in the final Division III Scoreboard powered by Clippd rankings with an adjusted scoring average of 291.30 for the year. The Beavers ended the year ranked first in Region I and had five players named to the GCAA all-region team for the third consecutive season. 

Page, who just completed his 11th season at Babson, has guided the program to four NCAA Championship appearances while helping the program lower its scoring average by 40 shots per round over the last decade. Additionally, his players have earned eight All-America and 22 all-region awards during his tenure.
