WOMEN'S GOLF ALL-PACWEST TEAM

IRVINE, Calif. – For the second year in a row, Academy of Art has won both the Golfer and Freshman of the Year awards in the PacWest with Anahi Servin repeating as Golfer of the Year and Biapor Khunsri, earning recognition as the PacWest Freshman of the Year. The Urban Knights also earned the Coach of the Year award with first-year head coach Mitch Lowe receiving the honor from his peers.
 
Servin has won the PacWest Championships twice in her first two years of collegiate golf to earn a second PacWest Golfer of the Year recognition. The sophomore is ranked 11th in the nation after finishing in the top 10 in every event that she has competed in so far this year. Servin won two titles in the fall before making it three titles at the Wigwam Resort. She also had two runner-up finishes at the Tim Tierney Pioneer Shootout and the Otter Invitational in the spring.
 
Khunsri finished runner-up at the PacWest Championships with a score of 4-over-par 220 as she also earned first-team All-PacWest recognition. The freshman played her best golf of the year in April as she also won the Sonoma State Spring Invitational with a score of 4-over-par 148 for a three-way tie for first place. Khunsri helped the Urban Knights finish among the top-3 teams at every event they competed in this year.
 
In his first year as head coach, Lowe helped Academy of Art win its first PacWest Women’s Golf Championships title as the Urban Knights won with a team score of 889 in three rounds to win the event by 20 strokes. It was the Urban Knights’ second team title of the season after winning the Dixie State Fall Invitational. Academy of Art finished in the top 3 as a team in all events this season, including six runner-up finishes. The Urban Knights earned the No. 5 seed for the West Super Regional, which will be played next week.
 
Point Loma’s Alli Kim earned first-team recognition by finishing in a tie for second place at the PacWest Championships. The sophomore is the top-ranked player in the conference according to GolfStat as she won three events on the season.
 
The other two first-team selections are Elan Hawkins and Vicky Kuo from Academy of Art. Both players are repeat All-PacWest selections after helping the Urban Knights to the conference title. Iveta Posledni was the top player on the second team to give the entire Academy of Art lineup all-conference honors.
 
Freshmen of the Year candidates Sami Penor from Biola and Sofia Young from Holy Names were also named to the second team along with repeat selection Chisay Arai from Holy Names and Jules Loibl from Biola. Hawai`i Pacific was represented on the All-PacWest team by third-team selection Mint Chumsuti.
