Steph Gough and Ashley Haggard were rewarded for their strong performance in the classroom last season as both were named All-American Scholars by the National Golf Coaches Association.

In order to be eligible for the award, a student athlete must have a GPA over 3.5 while competing in at least half of the team's scheduled rounds during the year.

"It's a great honor and I'm very proud of them," said head coach Chris Adams. "It's pretty demanding to be a collegiate golfer, and this award is a tribute to their hard work on and off the course."

Gough, who will be a senior in the fall, earned the recognition for the third consecutive season, and Haggard picked up the honors for the first time in her career.
