"I am so proud of Ailsa and Haley as they both personify the term student-athlete. Both of these ladies work so hard on and off the course and I am so happy that they are able to be recognized by the conference," said head coach Sarah Trew. "Ailsa has been balancing a full-time internship this year and Haley has her engineering major, no small task for either of them. I would like to thank both for being such wonderful representatives of FGCU."
