Coral Springs, FL - The National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) announced today their All-American Scholar Teams for NCAA Division I, II, and III, and UC Riverside women's golfers
Ashlee Yee and
Alexandra Erdman were two of 410 collegiate golfers recognized with this prestigious honor nationwide.
The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50 and student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
Erdman played in all 11 Highlander tournaments on the year and posted a career-low 77.72 stroke average, while Yee played in 10 events and also carted a career-low 79.46 scoring average on the year.
Yee and Erdman were also just two of three golfers to receive this award from Big West Conference schools, as Long Beach State had one individual earn the NGCA honor.
