SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - History was made on Wednesday at Sandpiper Golf Club, where the Cal State East Bay men's golf team had a collective -1 in the final round to win the 2024-25 CCAA Men's Golf Championships presented by Under Armour. It was the second CCAA Men's Golf Championship in program history.

At Cal State East Bay, the golf course is more than just a playing field—it's a testing ground for resilience, growth, and ambition. Two standout student-athletes, Adam Brangefalt and Makena Ebster, have taken unique paths to reach their peaks, carving their own identities on the greens while navigating the demands of collegiate athletics. One hails from halfway across the globe in Västerås, Sweden; the other is from the Central Valley. Together, they represent the drive and discipline it takes to compete at the NCAA Division II level—on both sides of the scoreboard.
