Though enjoying the level of play, he decided a change of environment would better align with his goals both on and off the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI came to LVC because I realized that as a student athlete, you need to think about more than just your sport,\u201d Fisher, a sophomore, said. \u201cI went to Fort Lewis because I believed that it was the best to propel my golf career to success, then realized the other aspects of the school were not a fit for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LVC golf team, competing within the MAC (Mid-Atlantic-Conference), differs from Fort Lewis and the RMAC (Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) in both division and geographic location, but that does not concern Fisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe only difference is elevation. Still getting used to the change in yardages. Otherwise, it\u2019s just golf,\u201d said Fisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the lengthy move, Fisher, who transferred into LVC as a sophomore, welcomed the opportunity to progress his education and collegiate golf career further. His expectations are set high as he welcomes the upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIdeally, I\u2019d like this year to make a top 10 in an event. Throughout my college career I\u2019d like a college win and a win at the mac as a team. Ever since I visited LVC I felt like they were long time friends of mine, and I\u2019m happy to be here,\u201d said Fisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dutchmen begin their fall golf season Sept. 7, at the Dickinson Invitational in Carlisle, PA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>lrb005@lvc.edu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Lukas Bartek \u201926, staff writer From Durango, Colorado, to Lebanon Valley College, a transfer student looks to make his mark on the men\u2019s golf team.
