Posted By: Will Moss on February 24, 2026


North Carolina Central University golfer Zolezzi secured a runner-up finish at the Arcis HBCU Championship after competing in a playoff round, highlighting the continued excellence of HBCU golf programs on the national stage.

The Eagles' competitor demonstrated strong performance throughout the tournament before ultimately falling short in the playoff, earning second place in the prestigious competition that brings together golfers from historically Black colleges and universities across the nation.

Key Takeaway: NCCU's Zolezzi advanced to a playoff round at the Arcis HBCU Championship, ultimately finishing as runner-up in the competitive field.

The Arcis HBCU Championship serves as a significant platform for showcasing talent from historically Black colleges and universities' golf programs. The tournament provides student-athletes from HBCUs the opportunity to compete at a high level while gaining valuable experience in championship conditions.

Zolezzi's performance represents another achievement for North Carolina Central University athletics, as the Eagles continue to build their reputation in collegiate golf. The runner-up finish demonstrates the competitive nature of HBCU golf programs and their ability to produce top-tier talent.

The playoff format added dramatic intensity to the championship, with Zolezzi battling through extra holes before ultimately securing second place.



Such performances help raise the profile of HBCU golf programs and demonstrate the caliber of athletes competing at historically Black institutions.

North Carolina Central University, located in Durham, North Carolina, competes in NCAA Division I athletics and has been steadily building its golf program's reputation through consistent performances at regional and national tournaments.

Details about the specific playoff format, the tournament location, and the complete field of competitors were part of the championship event that celebrated HBCU athletic excellence.

The strong showing at the Arcis HBCU Championship adds to the growing narrative of HBCU golf programs receiving increased recognition and competitive opportunities. These platforms are essential for HBCU student-athletes to showcase their skills and potentially advance to professional golf careers.

As HBCU golf programs continue to attract talented athletes and compete at high levels, performances like Zolezzi's runner-up finish help demonstrate the importance of supporting and investing in these programs. The Arcis HBCU Championship represents the type of focused competition that elevates the entire landscape of HBCU athletics.
