Amy Rassman '04

MONMOUTH, Ill. – Two Monmouth College golfers have received a pair of postseason honors. Nicole Auclair (Darien, Ill./Hinsdale South) and Amy Rassman (New Lenox, Ill./Lincoln-Way) have been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District V College Division At-Large first team.

Auclair and Rassman will be placed on the national ballot in voting for Academic All-American status, which will be announced this summer. This is the second time in as many years Monmouth has placed an athlete on the national ballot. Kara Kuhrts was named All-District V for track in 2003.

Auclair, a five-time Dean’s List recipient and two-time all-conference selection, also was named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar team in 2003. A multi-sport athlete, she was recently named Co-SIDA Academic All-District V second team in softball.

A biology/biochemistry major, she is the daughter of Omer and Janet Auclair of Darien.

Rassman, who is the only woman golfer at Monmouth to be a four-time all-conference player, is also two-time member of National Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar team. She has been named to the Dean’s List six times and was named academic all-conference three times.

An education major, she is the daughter of Wayne and Linda Rassman of New Lenox.

“This is a great honor for Amy and Nicole.,” said MC coach Bill Pieper. “We stress that academics and athletics go hand-in-hand to produce a well-rounded student. It is a great reflection on Monmouth College to be able to produce scholar-athletes who are fine citizens as well.”
