Four from Women’s Golf Land on All-Conference Team

SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 Conference announced their 2023 Women’s Golf All-Conference teams and Sun Devil Women’s Golf is well represented.

Arizona State landed four individuals on the Pac-12 All-Conference teams, tied with Oregon and USC for the most selections of any school. The respect for the Maroon & Gold is clear, as this distinction is voted on by the other coaches in the league.

Ashley Menne and Grace Summerhays were two of only 12 golfers named to the First Team in arguably the deepest conference in the country. The program has now had at least one representative on the first team every year since 2005. It is the third consecutive year in which ASU has had two first team selections, a feat they have accomplished five times in the seven years of the award in the Missy Farr-Kaye era.

Paula Schulz-Hanssen and Beth Coulter earned two of only eight spots on the Honorable Mention team, meaning 4 of the 20 possible All-Conference picks were Sun Devils. After landing four on the team last year, ASU has now combined for 13 Pac-12 All-Conference honors over the past three seasons alone. Under Missy Farr-Kaye, 21 Sun Devils have made an All-Conference team, the second most in the conference during that span. This is the 21st time at least four from Arizona State have been honored with the distinction. A total of 138 Sun Devils have now earned a spot on an All-Conference Team since the award was established back in 1980, when ASU was still in the Western Collegiate Athletic Association. 

“We are thrilled to announce that 4 of our Sun Devils have made an All Conference team,” Coach Farr-Kaye remarked. “Ashley and Grace have earned first team with a terrific year up to this point! It is a great accolade for a pair of local standouts. Paula and Beth earned Honorable Mention. Both had outstanding freshman seasons, which helped them earn the honor. The Pac-12 Conference is the strongest conference in Women’s golf, thus receiving these honors is truly a high achievement!”
