AMCC 25TH ANNIVERSARY THEN & NOW SERIES: DYLAN LINK, MT. ALOYSIUS COLLEGE

Dylan Link ’15 has been a mainstay in the Mount Aloysius College men’s golf program for much of the last decade. He is the most decorated golfer in program history, prior to being named the Head Golf Coach in the spring of 2016.

During his playing days, Link was a three-time First Team AMCC All-conference selection, from 2012-2014. In 2013, he was the individual champion at the MAC Invitational at Ebensburg Country Club. He was also a crucial part in helping the 2013 team to a fourth-place finish in the AMCC Championship.

In his final season, Link also won the 2014 Dubois Collegiate Classic, propelling the Mounties to a first-place finish.

Link was inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Student-Athlete Honor Society, while at the Mount. He also earned numerous AMCC Academic All-Conference Accolades. In addition, he was named to the AMCC Sportsmanship team following his senior season.

Since turning from player to coach, Link has had the Mounties in the top four in the AMCC Championship the past two years. It’s been the best stretch in program history. Link has also mentored two different all-conference selections, including current Mountie, Aloysius Lee. In 2018, he recruited the AMCC Newcomer of the Year, Will Hoven. Hoven was also named to the All-AMCC Second Team.

Link still plays competitively. He has played in recent US Open Qualifiers, as well as other Pennsylvania Golf Association and West Penn Golf Association events.

Dylan is currently a seventh grade social studies teacher at Penn Cambria Middle School. He lives with his wife Maria and their son Dominic, in Ebensburg.

The Then and Now Series is part of the AMCC's 25th anniversary where the conference will be recognizing current AMCC coaches and/or athletic administrators who are former AMCC student-athletes. The Then and Series will run every Tuesday throughout the academic year.
