The six Lobos to be tabbed with the prestigious honor include redshirt-senior Reva Morris, seniors Serena Chon and Caroline Jansson, sophomores Lauren Lehigh and Napat “Jenny” Lertsadwattana, and freshman Myah McDonald.

Morris and Jansson are now three-time WGCA All-American Scholars while Chon, Lehigh and Lertsadwattana have now earned the honor twice.

A total of 1,432 women’s collegiate golfers were recognized with the prestigious honor. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics as the minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50.

Lehigh led the Lobos on their way to the 2021 Mountain West Championship, a league-record ninth title, as she tied for first overall before falling in a three-hole playoff for the Individual Championship. She posted a scoring average of 75.00 on the season, bested only by fellow sophomore, Lertsadwattana, who registered a 74.29 on the season with four top-10 finishes.

McDonald was named Mountain West Freshman of the Year in her inaugural season. She collected a pair of top-five finishes including tied for fifth at the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque and tied for fourth at the 2021 Mountain West Championships.

All five of the Lobos that competed in the 2021 MW Championship made the list as Lehigh, Lertsadwattana and McDonald were joined on the course by Chon and Jansson to lead UNM to victory.
