ORLANDO – Three UCF women's golfers were honored as All-American Scholars by the Women's Golf Coaches Association on Tuesday as rising junior Alyssa Lamoureux and rising sophomores Jess Baker and Camille Banzet received the honor.
The award mark's Lamoureux's third of her career after also picking up the honor following the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Lamoureux was one of three UCF golfers to play in all seven tournaments throughout the season. She posted a 75.19 scoring average throughout 21 tournaments and was the first active UCF women's golfer to compete in the U.S Women's Open this year, joining former UCF women's golfer Stephanie Connelly (2009), who qualified as an alumnus in 2015, as the only two Knights to compete in the U.S. Women's Open.
Picking up the honor for the first time, Baker played in five of seven events for UCF in 2020-21, posting a 75.27 scoring average along the way. Her best performance of the season came at the Moon Golf Invitation from Feb. 14-16, where she shot a 1-under 215 to finish tied for 13th.
Also earning her first WGCA All-American Scholar honor, Camille Banzet played in UCF's final six events of the season, turning in a 74.94 scoring average and three top-20 finishes. Banzet finished as high as T-7 in 2020-21 after she shot 73-71-80=224, +8 at the Brickyard Collegiate Invitation from April 5-6.
Criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.5 for the year, and the student-athlete must have played in 50% of the team's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
