TWO RAMS QUALIFY FOR U.S. WOMEN'S AMATEUR… AGAIN
For the second consecutive year, teammates Karina Prendergast and Ellen Secor qualified for the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball Championship. A year after earning medalists honors at The Ranch CC, Prendergast and Secor repeated in that role, this time by shooting a best-ball six-under par 66 on Oct. 3 at Walnut Creek Golf Preserve in Westminster, Colo. The 2018 U.S. Women's Four-Ball will be held April 28 – May 2 at El Caballero CC in Tarzana, Calif. It will be the third straight trip to the national Women's Four-Ball for Secor and second for Prendergast.
Â
THOSE WHO ARE RETURNING
Annie Young is in her fifth year as head coach for the Rams. Other returners include junior Katrina Prendergast, and sophomores Ellen Secor and Jessica Sloot.
Â
NEW FACES
The Rams have added three new faces to the roster.
Haley Greb – A freshman from Pendleton, Ore., who competed on the varsity golf team all four years at Pendleton High School. In her senior season she won the State Championship.
Fiona Hebbel – A native of Levekusen, Germany, Hebbel transferred from King University in Tenn., and helped King University win their first Conference Carolinas title and finished 11th at the Conference Carolinas Championship with a stroke total of 154, shooting 79-75. She led King University with a stroke average of 77.56.
Brooke Nolte – A transfer from Bowling Green State and a Melissa, Texas native, qualified as the number one player as a freshman. She was the only player on the team to finish in the top two in all events on the team.
Â
NEW ASSISTANT COACH
The Rams welcome Tommy Baker as the new assistant coach prior to the 2017-18 season. Baker previously coached the women's team at Saint Leo University in Florida. The Lions qualified for the NCAA South Super Regional in each of his four seasons as head coach. He set multiple school records including: lowest team round – 279 (-9), lowest team 36 holes – 571 (-5) and lowest individual round - 66. Baker earned his bachelor degree in exercise and sport science from UNC – Pembroke in 2006 and his masters in physical education with a concentration in sports administration in 2008.
Â
LOOKING FORWARD
The Rams closed the 2016-2017 season with a team stroke average of 305.56, the eighth-best in school history. The 2015-2016 had the best steam stroke average of 297.72.
Â
PRENDERGAST SHINES DURING SOPHOMORE SEASON
Katrina Prendergast finished her sophomore season, placing in the upper-third of the NCAA Regionals field. She posted a 6-over 222, tying for 32nd during the three-day tournament. Her score tied a school record, along with Brianna Espinoza in 2012.
She ended her sophomore season with a season stroke average of 74.31, the third-best in school history, and also owns the record, with a 73.69 as a freshman in 2015-16. In two seasons, she is a two-time NCAA Regionals participant and two-time All-Mountain West selection.
Â
RAMS TRIO LAND ON WGCA ALL-AMERICAN SCHOLAR TEAM
The Rams had three student-athletes placed on the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Scholar team. Brianna Becker and Elisabeth Rau, both 2017 graduates, and sophomore Jessica Sloot received the honor. This is the 23rd consecutive year that Colorado State has had a student-athlete be named to the team. Head coach Annie Young now has eight student-athletes named to the WGCA All-American Scholar team.
Â
SUCCESS IN THE CLASSROOM
Jessica Sloot is the only returning player to be named a Mountain West Scholar-Athlete for the 2016-2017 season.
Â
WHAT THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON LOOKS LIKE
The Rams have two more tournaments this fall, where they will travel to Las Vegas, Nev. for the Las Vegas Collegiate Oct. 22-24 and Irvine, Calif. for the UC Irvine Invitational Oct. 30-31.
