Coral Springs, FL - IPFW's Alison Rathsman, a sophomore business management major, has been named a NGCA All-American Scholar for the second year in a row.

The National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Teams included 368 women's collegiate golfers from Division I, II, and III. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent of all college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is a 3.50 and the student-athletes must have competed in at least 50% of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.

"I am very happy and extremely proud of Alison," said Head Coach Jeff Marsh. "Alison works very hard on her academics and that work ethic in the classroom spills over to her golf game. Alison is a great example of a student-athlete at IPFW and she will be just as successful in the years to come."

The National Golf Coaches Association, founded in 1983, is a non-profit organization representing women's collegiate golf coaches. The NGCA was formed to encourage the playing of college golf for women in correlation with a general objective of education and in accordance with the highest tradition of intercollegiate competition. Today, the NGCA represents over 400 coaches throughout the US and is dedicated to educating, promoting and recognizing both its members and the student-athletes they represent.
