Rollins takes great pride in the fact that its student-athletes perform as well in the classroom as they do on the playing field. As a fitting capstone to its national championship season, the women’s golf team earned further recognition last summer when five of its members were named All-American Scholars. The honorees included Joanna Coe ’11, Laura Fourdraine ’08 ’10MBA, Cristina Gugler ’08, Brianna Seo ’11, and Vanessa Vela ’08. Rollins and the University of Indianapolis were the only Division II schools with five students represented on the list. The award topped off an impressive first season for Coe, who won the individual NCAA national championship, was named an All-American, and was a finalist for the Honda Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year Award. In addition to the individual All-American honors, the team as a whole, under the leadership of Coach Julie Garner, earned its second-consecutive Sports Information Director’s GPA Trophy thanks to a combined 3.63 GPA for the 2008 spring semester.
