CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – The Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Scholars were announced with a total of 828 women's collegiate golfers recognized with this prestigious honor. 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.
 
Among those honored were three University of Evansville golfers – Kayla Katterhenry, Giulia Mallmann and Maria Pickens.
 
"It is great to have three of our players recognized for their outstanding academic achievements.  I am proud of them for the work they have done with our program," UE head coach Jim Hamilton said.  "We strive for academic excellence on our team and these girls exemplify what we stand for."
 
Katterhenry, who finished in second place at the 2016 Missouri Valley Conference Championship, has matched that effort in her studies.  The junior stands at a 3.66 GPA.  Giulia Mallmann has also excelled in the classroom.  With two years of coursework under her belt, Mallmann has accumulated a GPA of 3.69.
