CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – A school-record five University of Hawai'i women's golfers were selected to the All-American Scholar Team announced by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA).
The five honorees – senior
Hana Mirnik and freshmen
Ting-Yu Liu,
Hyeonji Kang,
Mayumi Umezu, and
Momo Sugiyama – are the most in a single-season in program history.
Mirnik earned her fourth selection – twice as a Rainbow Wahine and twice at Wichita State, where she competed prior to transferring to Hawai'i. Liu, Kang, Umezu, and Sugiyama each completed their first seasons at UH.
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 with a total of 1,485 women's collegiate golfers earning the prestigious recognition in 2021-22.
This year marks the fourth consecutive year and eighth time in the last 10 years that at least one Rainbow Wahine was named to the All-American Scholar Team.
