The Rollins College men's and women's golf teams ended their seasons with a bang earning multiple post-season honors.
On the women's side, senior golfer Charlotte Campbell ended another great season by being named the Sunshine State Conference Golfer of the Year making it the second year in her career that she has earned this honor. This makes her the first two-time recipient of this award.
Campbell was first named Golfer of the Year unanimously during her freshman year. She also made it on the All-Conference team which was the fourth time in her career. Her stroke average of 74.71 tops the conference. During her three years with the Tars Campbell has also been named first team All-American and national Player of the Year three times.
Fellow senior golfer Mariana De Biase was also named to the All-Conference team for the fourth time in her career. De Biase won the 2006 Sunshine State Conference Tournament and ended the season with a 75.00 stroke average that placed her second best in the conference.
Women's head coach Julie Garner earned the Sunshine State Conference Coach of the Year for the fourth time in her ten-season career. She has seen six conference titles including the last three consecutive wins. Coach Garner will look to lead Rollins to their unprecedented fourth straight NCAA Division II National Championship.
On the men's side, senior golfer Dan Walters was also named to the All-Sunshine State Conference team for the second year in a row. His stroke average was 72.83 for the season. During the season, Walters won one tournament and finished runner-up in three different tournaments.
Both teams look to defend their NCAA Division II South Region titles. The men's golf team will be playing on May 1-3 in Duncan, Oklahoma at The Territory and the women's golf team will be playing Pensacola, Florida at Stonebrook Golf Club on May 1-2.
