This is the 12th year WCU has put golfers on the All-American Scholar team, with this years five selections representing the most in program history. 

"The women's golf team at Western Carolina has had a long-standing tradition of academic excellence. Our student-athletes are extremely focused when it comes to their studies," said head coach Mallory Hetzel. "Having five NGCA All American Scholars in one year is almost unheard of in women's golf. It was nice to see our seniors end their careers with a well deserved award and equally impressive to see our freshman contribute to our academic success."
