The trio become the sixth, seventh and eighth individuals in program history to earn All-America honors and the first since Joel Sylven in 2023. All three finished in the top 10 in the stroke play portion of the NCAA Championship tournament and helped lead the Tritons to their best finish at the NCAA Championships.
Baudry had a scoring average of 74.00 in his final season at UMSL. He was the individual medalist at the HPU Sharks Shootout this past October and had one top five and two other top 10 finishes. Baudry recorded a score of par or better in 13 rounds this season and had a season low round of 68 which he achieved twice this season. His scoring average of 73.91 is fourth best in a career in school history.
Mayo was second on the squad with a 72.62 scoring average which is fifth best in a single season in school history. He finished the season with five top five and seven top 10 finishes. Mayo's best finish came as the runner-up at the Doc Spragg Invitational back in October. He posted a season best score of 206 to finish in a tie for fourth at the NCAA Championships and that score is tied for third lowest for 54 holes in school history.
Solavera paced the Tritons with a 72.50 scoring average, recording three top five and five top 10 finishes and was individual medalist at the Arch Cup back in September. He recorded scores of par or better in 23 rounds this season and had a season-low round of 66 in the NCAA medal/match play semifinal contest against Wingate. Solavera's scoring average this season is fourth lowest for a single season in school history.
