CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – The Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) announced its annual All-American Scholars on Tuesday, and UT Arlington was well represented with five student-athletes named to the prestigious list: Madigan Murray, Janane Tan, Connor Howard, Romina Gonzalez and Abigail Adams.
Â
The criteria for selection to the WGCA All-American Scholar Team are among some of the most stringent in all of collegiate athletics with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 needed to be included on the team. In addition, members must have competed in at least 50 percent of the rounds completed by the team in 2020-21.
Â
Murray and Howard are both now three-time members of the WGCA All-American Scholar Team after earning spots on the list each of the last two years.
Â
With five members on the WGCA All-American Scholar Team, UTA is tied for the 2nd-most representation among all Sun Belt Conference schools behind only six from Arkansas State.
