BYU WOMEN'S GOLF: BYU sophomore Jade Bollinger has been named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-America Scholar Team following another strong year on the golf course and in the classroom.

The honor marks the second time in as many years that Bollinger has received the award.

"It's a neat honor and I'm just glad to have the opportunity to get a great education and be able to play golf on top of it," Bollinger said. "It's a lot of fun."

Bollinger owns a 3.88 cumulative GPA as a business management major.

The junior-to-be from Wellington, Fla., participated in all 10 events for the Cougars during the 2008-09 campaign and was recently named academic All-Mountain West Conference. She maintained a 78.72 stroke average throughout the year and enjoyed a season-best performance at the MWC Championships in which she came in seventh place overall at 12-over-par. She was one of 10 golfers from the MWC to be given the honor.
