Koplik & O'Leary garner All-American Scholar Honors again


Junior Laura Koplik (Tenafly, NJ) and sophomore Anne O'Leary (Short Hills, NJ) have been named to the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) All-American Scholar Team for the second consecutive year.

The criteria for selection to the NGCA All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent of all college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50 and student-athletes must have competed in at least 66% of the college’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.

Last year Koplik and O'Leary were the first Ephs to earn national academic honors in women's golf and they now have become the first to repeat as All-American Scholars.

Earlier this year both Koplik and O'Leary earned All-East honors for their play in leading the Ephs to a strong spring campaign that concluded with Williams making a second consecutive appearance in the NCAA Championships where they placed 8th. 

Koplik is majoring in math and O'Leary has yet to declare a major.
