The Detroit women’s golf team was champions on the course this past season, tying an NCAA record with nine tournament victories and winning the Horizon League Championship, and today the squad added to its academic profile as senior Collette Hansen (West Olive, Mich./Grand Haven) and junior Lindsey Lammers (Milan, Mich./Milan) were named All-American Scholars by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA).
For Hansen, the award marks the third time in her career that she has been named an All-American Scholar, while it is the second time for Lammers.
Hansen recently graduated from Detroit with a nursing degree. She finished her career sixth in school history with an 82.4 average and had 15 top-10 efforts and 27 top-20 performances. She was a four-year member of the Detroit Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, a three-year member of the Horizon League Fall and Spring Academic Honor Rolls and was tabbed to the HL Spring All-Academic Team as a junior and senior.
Lammers – the reigning Horizon League Player of the Year – will enter her senior year as UDM’s all-time leader with a 78.3 career average in 59 rounds of golf. She broke her own school record with a 76.2 tally on the links this past season and is a three-year member of the University’s AD’s Honor Roll, a two-time recipient of the HL Fall and Spring Honor Rolls and was named Academic All-League as a sophomore and junior.
The Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Scholars for Division I, II & III totaled 644 women’s collegiate golfers who were recognized with this prestigious honor. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50.
