NKU’s Alicia Lawrence

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The 2005-06 National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team includes four Northern Kentucky University women's golfers.

NKU's Deanna Feilen, Bianca Hutton, Alicia Lawrence and Lindsey Oldiges each earned All-American Scholar honors. A total of 371 women’s golfers were recognized with this prestigious honor from the NGCA.

The criteria for selection to the NGCA All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50 and student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent (Division I) or 66 percent (Division II & III) of the team’s regularly scheduled rounds during the year.

Feilen, a senior political science major, is from Fort Thomas, Ky. Hutton, a junior international studies/marketing major, is from Helsinki, Finland. Lawrence, a sophomore marketing major from Williamstown, Ky., is the two-time defending Northern Kentucky Women's Amateur golf champion. Oldiges, a senior from Cincinnati, Ohio, is a marketing/business major.

Those four golfers helped NKU earn a berth in the NCAA Division II East Regional this past spring.
