Lertsadwattana, UNM’s first MW Freshman of the Year honoree since former Lobo Jodi Ewart earned the award in 2006-07, led the Lobos with 74.05 strokes per round and was the highest-ranked freshman golfer in the Mountain West. She registered three top-15 finishes on the season including a season-best ninth-place finish at the Rebel Beach Intercollegiate in February.
