WGCA Press Release

July 2, 2014 - North Central College women's golf student-athletes Mary Kate Rohn, Kayla Koenig and Megan Kelly have been honored with selections to the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Scholar Team for the 2013-2014 season.

To qualify for the honor, student-athletes must have maintained a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.50. In all, 664 golfers were selected among the three divisions of the NCAA, and Rohn, Koenig and Kelly were among 95 honorees from NCAA Division III institutions.
 

A sport management major, Rohn makes the WGCA's list for the fourth straight season, making her the first player in the North Central program's history to be so honored. She turned in a team-best scoring average of 81.9 to lead the Cardinals in that category for the second straight year, and she became the second North Central player to win an individual College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Championship after winning a scorecard playoff at the 2013 championships at Oak Brook Golf Club in October. She won three other tournaments in her collegiate career, earned All-CCIW honors twice and represented North Central in the Cardinals' first appearance in the NCAA Division III National Championships in 2011.

Koenig, an accounting major, placed in the top five in two events this season and tied for 21st at the CCIW Championships. She is a two-time Academic All-CCIW selection and also contributed to indoor and outdoor CCIW championships as a thrower for the Cardinals' women's track and field team this season. Kelly, who has yet to declare a major, averaged 90.0 strokes per round in nine events and placed in the top 20 three times this season.

North Central has had at least one representative on the team in each of the past six seasons. A total of eight CCIW representatives made this year's list of honorees.

The Cardinals open the 2014 fall season on Aug. 29 at Carthage College's Tournament on the Border.
