Schultz
The Cincinnati native with a 3.807 grade-point average in exercise science posted a 78.4 stroke average that ranked 15th in the MAC. Schultz led the Rockets in the fall with a 76.4 scoring mark, but suffered a rib injury in the spring that limited her effectiveness and participation.
She registered a career-best second place showing at the season opening Redbird Invitational with a career-low six-over par 222 (75-76). Schultz’s other top showing was fourth place at four-over par 148 (75-73) to help UT win the Red Rocks Invitational.
Also recognized by the conference were sophomore Jennifer Elsholz, junior Kate Hoops and sophomore Becky Martin.
A psychology major with a 3.411 GPA, Elsholz ranked third on the team with a 77.9 stroke average that was 12th in the MAC. Hoops possesses a 3.888 GPA in early childhood education and ranked second on the team and ninth in the MAC with a 77.3 stroke average that propelled her to second-team All-MAC accolades. Martin posted a 79.5 stroke average and holds a 3.354 GPA in finance.
The Academic All-MAC honor is for a student-athlete who has excelled in sports and academics. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50 percent of the contests for that particular sport. First-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence are not eligible for the award.
