KENNESAW, Ga. – Dulcie Sverdloff and Medy Thavong were named to the 2015-16 Women's Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team on Tuesday afternoon.
 
"I always take great pride in having players named WGCA Academic All-Americans," Head Coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "The criteria for selection is one of the toughest of any awards given. It requires a 3.50 cumulative GPA and participation in over 50% of events. For the third year in a row, Dulcie has earned this honor. She takes great pride in her academics and is very deserving. I'm particularly proud of Medy for also being named academic All-American. She has to work incredibly hard to earn her grades and she has maintained a 4.0 GPA. I'm very proud of these players for their athletic achievements this year and to cap the year with this award is very fulfilling."
