BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Three members of the WKU Lady Topper Golf team were honored this week for their academic achievement as Women's Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholars.
Â
WKU's Mary Joiner, Megan Clarke and Lizzie Loy were all recognized by the WGCA, which requires that honorees meet a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 and compete in at least 50 percent of the school's regularly scheduled competitive rounds.
Â
Joiner, a rising junior from Franklin, Ky., currently carries a 3.89 cumulative GPA while majoring in finance.
Â
The All-Conference USA Third Team selection broke her own WKU single-season stroke average record of 73.4 in 2018-19 and notched back-to-back wins to open the season. That gave her six career victories, which is a WKU and C-USA record.
Â
Clarke, a rising junior from Heckmondwike, England, boasts a 3.95 GPA while majoring in psychology.
Â
She finished her sophomore season with a second-best stroke average on the team of 75.6, earning five top-25 finishes and four top-10s. That included a victory at the Little Rock Golf Classic and a tie for 10th in the C-USA Championship.
Â
Loy, a rising sophomore from Jamestown, Ky., finished her freshman campaign with a perfect 4.0 GPA. She's majoring in communication disorders, with minors in nonprofit administration and health care administration.
Â
Loy competed in all 10 tournaments for the Lady Toppers and registered two top-20 results – the best a tie for 12th at WKU's own Spring Break Shootout.
