Hawks receive six WGCA All-American Scholar honors

Emma Hughes earned her third selection as a WGCA All-American Scholar.

Six members of the Rockhurst women's golf team were named All-American Scholars by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA).

Junior Emma Hughes (Edmond, Okla.), sophomore Caroline Lynch (St. Louis, Mo.), sophomore Emma Mullendore (Omaha, Neb.), sophomore Caroline Setter (Topeka, Kan.), sophomore Katie Gerschke (South Milwaukee, Wis.) and freshman Carly Krause (Granite Bay, Calif.) received All-American Scholar honors with a 3.50 or higher grade point average.

The six golfers helped Rockhurst succeed both on and off the course under head coach Richard Konzem. In the classroom, the Hawks posted a cumulative team GPA of 3.707. On the course, they finished first at the KC Cup last fall.

Hughes earned her third selection as a WGCA All-American Scholar. Mullendore, Lynch and Setter earned their second academic honors from the WGCA.

In total, 1,432 collegiate golfers from all three division programs were recognized. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics.
