The 2001 Men's Golf Team was the first to earn a post-season bid as they qualified for the NCAA Tournament that season. The Saints were led at the tournament by Torrey Welsch who shot 314 to top the team. Welsch, a Saints Hall of Famer, was a first-team All-SLIAC selection, while Todd DeGrand was the SLIAC Freshman of the Year and a second-team All-Conference honoree. The team shot a total score of 1,264 over four rounds at Persimmon Woods Golf Club in Weldon Springs, Mo. In addition to Welsch and DeGrand, Joe Anatra, Ryan Noirfalise and Shawn Hellmann posted scores for Maryville. The Saints won the SLIAC Tournament that season with a team score of 647. Maryville Hall of Famer Dave Pierce was the head coach of the squad.
