WGCA Honors Three Women’s Golfers as NCAA Scholar All-Americans
Three Nova Southeastern women’s golfers were recognized as NCAA All-American Scholars by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association, as announced on Wednesday, July 16.

“They have been able to balance the demands of academics and athletics, and this award is reserved for those who do it best,” said women’s golf head coach Amanda Brown of the three players. “I congratulate them for their well-rounded success, which will continue to help them in all areas of life.”
The trio joins two women’s cross country runners (Peri Bowman and Alexandria Palm) and five rowers (Stephanie Hauck, Amanda Hudon, Kelsey Obringer, Adrianna Rosario and Tori Torrisi) as NCAA Scholar All-Americans in 2013-14.
