Monmouth, Ill. – The National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) has named former Monmouth College golfer Lynsey Barnard (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) a two-time All-American Scholar.

 

Barnard – who graduated in May with a degree in biopsychology – was one of 71 Division III women golfers nationwide to be named to the All-American Scholar team. Nearly 500 student-athletes were named to the teams in all NCAA divisions. She was named to the team last year as a junior and was the only female golfer in the Midwest Conference to receive the distinction this year. A three-year letterwinner, Barnard finished with a career stroke average of 95.5.

 

In order to be named an All-American Scholar, Division II and III athletes must have competed in at least 66 percent of their team’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds. All golfers, regardless of division, must carry a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50.
