OF THE WEEK |
Barnard wins
conference honor
September 22, 2009
Senior golfer Lynsey Barnard (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) had the best 36
holes of her season last weekend and was named the Midwest
Conference Performer of the Week for women’s golf.
Playing in the St. Ambrose Fighting Bee Classic,
Barnard finished tied for 14th in the field of 62.
Playing on two different courses didn’t adversely affect the
Fighting Scots’ top golfer. Saturday on the Glynns Creek Course in
Parkview, Iowa, Barnard fired a season-low 86. On Sunday’s final
round at Emeis Golf Course in Davenport, Iowa, she checked in with
an 88 for a season-low 36-hole 174 total as the Scots carded a
season-best 377-384-761.
MC’s Barnard named All-American Scholar

Barnard (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) is in an elite group of NCAA Division
III women’s golfers recently honored by the National Golf Coaches
Association (NGCA).
Barnard was one of less than
70 Division III women golfers nationwide to be named to the
All-American Scholar team. More than 400 student-athletes were named
to the teams in all NCAA divisions. In order to be named an
All-American Scholar, Division II and III athletes must have
competed in at least 66 percent of their team’s regularly scheduled
competitive rounds. All golfers, regardless of division, must carry
a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50.
Barnard was the only female
golfer in the Midwest Conference to receive the distinction. A
biopsychology major, the senior-to-be has a career stroke average
just under 93. Last season, she tied the school record for 18 holes,
firing an 80 at both the Knox Invitational and the Millikin Fall
Classic.
Founded in 1983, the NGCA is a
non-profit organization representing women’s collegiate golf
coaches. Nearly 500 coaches throughout the U.S. are currently
represented by the organization.

TEAM INFORMATION |
TEAM HISTORY
 The Fighting Scots
got off to a fast start, winning a conference title in just their
fourth year of existance. Monmouth built on back-to-back runnerup
finishes in 2000 and 2001 to take the league crown by nine strokes
in 2002. Molly McNamara, Amy Rassman and Nicole Auclair earned
All-Conference honors. Rassman picked up her
fourth All-MWC honor in 2003. Auclair and Liz Gard joined the senior
on the All-Conference team, making it the fourth straight year the
Scots had three players named All-Conference.
HOME COURSE
Monmouth plays its home matches on the
demanding, 5,814-yard, par-75 Gibson Woods Golf Course. The
course is aptly named with rolling fairways guarded by old-growth
trees and strategically-placed bunkers. The course is the home to
the Monmouth-Roseville High School boys' golf team which has produced eight state
team titles and six individual state champs.
