GREELEY, Colo -- The Northern Colorado men's golf team has announced the signing of Eaton native, Peter Grossenbacher to the team for the 2023-24 season. Grossenbacher is a transfer coming from the Division II ranks at Colorado Mesa.
"I'm very happy to round out this class with Peter," director of golf Clayton Sikorski said. "It's pretty cool he can finish up his college career so close to home. He has plenty of experience playing at a very strong D2 program which should help us next year. Peter is a strong student and fits in with the culture and buys in to the vision we have going forward."
Grossenbacher joins newcomers Antti Vahvaselka (Helsinki, Finland) and Pietro Boeris (Pinerolo, Italy) for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
