ST. PAUL, Minn. – Macalester College junior
Bailey Lengfelder (Renton, Wash./Hazen) and first year
Ava Austria (Portland, Ore./Catlin Gabel) were selected to the All-MIAC team, as the conference announced its year-end awards for women's golf today.
This is the third consecutive year on the All-MIAC team for Lengfelder, who placed sixth at the MIAC Championships on Sept. 28-30. Her three-round score of 232 that included a 73 in the first round is the second-lowest three-round score in the program's history. In the season opener, Lengfelder shot a 70 at the Crown Dual to set the school record for lowest round. She ended up tying that record at the Gustie Spring Invite this spring en route to finishing second in that event, one week after taking third at the Wartburg Spring Invite with a two-round school record of 145. Over 20 rounds and 10 events this season, Lengfelder maintained a stroke average of 76.7, the lowest average of her three seasons at Macalester.
Austria was the second-lowest finisher among first years at the MIAC Championships, tying for 10th with a score of 236 that included a final round of 74. In just her second collegiate event, she shot a 70 at the D3Central Region Preview to tie Lengfelder for the school record. Austria posted four top-10 finishes this season, including an eighth-place finish at the St. Kate's/Carleton Final Fling in the season finale. In 19 rounds and nine events this season, Austria averaged 80.1 strokes per round.
Lengfelder and Austria's performances at the MIAC Championships last fall helped the Scots take fourth in the team standings and tie the school record for a three-round tournament with a score of 965.
St. Catherine swept the individual awards, with Kyra Venne receiving MIAC Player of the Year honors. Caylin Cantwell was the MIAC Rookie of the Year, while Mary Giorgi was selected the MIAC Coach of the Year.
