All Seven From Women’s Golf Earn WGCA All-America Scholar Recognition

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – All seven members of the Rutgers women’s golf team were named 2023-24 Women’s Golf Association (WGCA) Division I All-American Scholars.
 
Leigha Devine and Rikke Nordvik each earned the accolade for the fourth time in their respective careers, with Nordvik receiving the honor in all four of her years as a Scarlet Knight. Cathi Graf also earned the honor for the fourth time in her career and first time with Rutgers. Lucrezia Rossettin earned the honor for the third time in as many years. The trio of RU freshmen – Emily James, Krystal Li and Lorena Rossettin – all earned the honor for the first time. 

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, while a recipient must have played in at least 50 percent of their team’s rounds during the 2023-24 season. The WGCA, founded in 1983, is a non-profit organization representing women’s collegiate golf coaches.

 

Under head coach Kari Williams, the Scarlet Knights have now accumulated 52 All-America Scholar awards since 2015.
