EVANSTON, Ill. — Three members of the Northwestern women's golf program were named to the Women's Golf Coaches All-American Scholars list Monday.
Senior Janet Mao and first years Kelly Su and Kelly Sim were named to the list for their academic achievements and maintaining a grade point average of 3.50 or better.
Mao is just the fifth student-athlete in program history to earn the award three-plus times.
The honor of being named to the list is regarded as one of the highest academic standards for a student-athlete in the country, with only 1,097 women's collegiate golfers recognized this academic year.
