Lauren Mason was recognized on the WGCA All-American Scholar Team for the fourth-straight year
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech senior Lauren Mason headlined Texas Tech's three selections this week to the All-American Scholars list that was announced by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA).
Â
Mason, who was joined by teammates Mami Yamamoto and Amy Taylor, was recognized for the fourth-consecutive season, while Yamamoto was honored for the third-straight year. It marked the first career academic honor for Taylor.
Â
This is the eighth-consecutive year Tech has been represented by multiple golfers being named to the All-American Scholar Team. Mason and Yamamoto were also recognized for their work in the classroom earlier this past season on the Academic All-Big 12 first team.
Â
The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team requires a minimum cumulative 3.50 grade-point average, which ranks among the most stringent standards in college athletics. The WGCA honored 1,011 women's golfers across all levels of collegiate golf.
Â
Yamamoto and Taylor will both be back with the Red Raiders this fall when Tech opens the 2018-19 season in September. Tech's full schedule will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
