Lancer Mathis Fortin signs with Doane College

Eastern Wyoming College golfer Mathis Fortin has signed with Doane College, in Crete, Nebraska, to further his golf career.
Sophomore mathematics major, Fortin said his decision to sign with Doane College was easy to make after looking at their math program and the golf team.
“I like what the [golf] coach is doing with the team,” Fortin said. “Academically, it seems like a really good school for me to pursue the rest of [my degree].”
EWC is just the tip of the iceberg for his academics and growing as a golfer, as Fortin said he is excited to start his time at Doane.
EWC Golf coach Zach Smith said Fortin’s hard work on the team throughout the season has not gone unnoticed.
“Mathis worked really hard on his game this past year to take a huge leap forward with his overall game. He has been a huge contributor this year,” Smith said.
Smith said for Fortin to earn an opportunity to play golf at Doane is exciting for him as a coach, and is well-deserved on Fortin’s part.
“I’m excited for this opportunity at Doane. I know they play some really great courses and tournaments. I’m looking forward to him finishing as a Lancer on a high note and moving on to pursue his bachelor’s degree,” Smith said.
Fortin will stick to one goal with his golf strategy at Doane, hard work.
“I’m going to keep working as hard as I can and [continue] to set my goals as high as possible, and see where it ends up taking me,” Fortin said.
