More than half of the Angelo State golf team garnered academic accolades Friday, as four Rambelles were named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Division II Scholar Team. Despite some of the most stringent criteria in all of college athletics, which include a minimum cumulative grade-point-average of 3.50, Krista Czarnecki, Maury McCormick, Randee Stegman and Makenzie Stone were all named to the All-American Scholar Team.
Czarnecki, a sophomore accounting major, led the Rambelles during the 2011 season with five top-25 finishes and earning team-medalist honors in four of their six events. The El Paso native had her best outing at the Midwestern State Invitational Mar. 21-22, where she fired a 73-84—157 and tied for 16th place.
McCormick's best finish was also at the Midwestern State Invitational. The accounting major earned a share of 20th place after carding a 159 (81-78). Stegman, the senior from Holcomb, Kan., had her best showing at the St. Edward's Invitational Feb. 28-Mar. 1. The exercise science major finished tied for 23rd with a two-round total of 161 (82-79).
Rounding out the Rambelles is freshman Makenzie Stone. At the Lone Star Conference Tournament, Stone finished in 34th place, after turning in a three-round total of 240 (84-77-79).
