BATON ROUGE — LSU women’s golfer Tessa Teachman was named to the 2009 National Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar team announced by the association.
Teachman will be a sophomore at LSU this fall and was part of the Tiger quintet that helped LSU to a 12th place finish in the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships.
The Baton Rouge golfer qualified for one of the toughest scholar teams to make in terms of the criteria set by the NGCA. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50 and student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent of the college’s regular scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
A total of 410 golfers in Divisions I, II and III qualified for the team this year.
