Anne O'Leary named NGCA All-American Scholar for 3rd straight year


Junior Anne O'Leary (Short Hills, NJ) became the first Williams golfer to be named to the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) All-American Scholar Team for a third consecutive year with her selection this 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.

Two years ago O'Leary and teammate Laura Koplik were the first Ephs to earn national academic honors in women's golf and the first to repeat as All-American Scholars (2008).

O’Leary, who also earned Academic All-NESCAC honors this year, is majoring in physics.
