April 27, 2007 | Women's Golf
MACON, Ga. - Gardner-Webb student-athlete Claudine Foong earned second-team Atlantic Sun Conference honors Friday afternoon, as announced by the conference office.
For the second time in as many years Campbell's Alejandra Shaw has been selected as the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year, following the successful defense of her individual title at the 2007 Women's Golf Championship, league officials announced today.
Shaw, a senior from Vina del Mar, Chile, finished the conference tournament with a 14-stroke advantage, tying the league largest victory margin. She also set a record at the championship for lowest three-round total, shooting a 212 to finish 4-under-par.
Her record-low 212 at the tournament helped Campbell capture its eighth A-Sun championship.
For her efforts, Shaw was also voted to the First Team All-Atlantic Sun for the third consecutive year. There she is joined by Maite Ortiz de Pinedo (Cam), Laura Jansone (ETSU), Anna Rogers (Mer) and Lorie Warren (Bel). Shaw is the only member to have more than one first team selection under her belt as the remaining four make their first appearance on the team.
Along with First Team All-Atlantic Sun honors, ETSU's Laura Jansone was tabbed the A-Sun's Freshman of the Year. Jansone entered the championship with the regular season's lowest single-round stroke total (69), along with Shaw, which bested an ETSU school record. During the regular season she earned the Lady Bucs' only first-place finish, garnering medalist honors at the Lady Pirate Fall Invitational.
The final post-season individual honors went to ETSU's Stefanie Reynolds and Campbell's John Crooks, who were voted as the A-Sun co-Coaches of the Year by their peers. In her fifth season at the helm of the Lady Bucs, Reynolds earned her first coaching honor while Crooks was crowned with back-to-back honors and his eighth Coach of the Year award in the Atlantic Sun.
Foong (GWU), Belen Diaz Cisneros (Cam), Natalia Giraldo (ETSU),
Lucy Gould (ETSU), Danielle Jackson (Stet), Ashley Kozlowski
(Stet), and Mary Mattson (Cam) made up the Second Team All-Atlantic
Sun.
