IPFW golfers excel on course, in classroom

Curtis, Lamphier were solid at Summit League event

Saturday, July 7, 2012 - 12:01 am

Two members of the IPFW women's golf team were recently recognized for their performance in the classroom.

Allison Curtis and Taylor Lamphier were named as members of the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team.

A total of 585 women's collegiate golfers were recognized with the honor. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team is a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.50, one of the most stringent in all of college athletics.

As a freshman, Curtis led the Mastodons with an 83.23 scoring average. The DeKalb High School graduate shot a season-low 77 on the first day of the Summit League Championships before following that strong round with rounds of 81, and 81.

Lamphier averaged an 89.33 in a dozen rounds during the year. The sophomore carded an 83 on the final round of the 2012 Summit League Championships.

This is the second straight year that the Homestead High School graduate has won a NGCA academic honor.
