NOTRE DAME, Ind. — The women’s golf team posted Notre Dame’s top team GPA for the 2018 fall semester with an impressive 3.652 mark.
“I can’t say enough about the effort this team, as a whole, puts into academics,” head coach Susan Holt said. “They are true student-athletes and will all do great things in the future after receiving their Notre Dame degrees.”
During the fall, the Fighting Irish competed in the Minnesota Invitational (Sept. 10-11), the Schooner Fall Classic (Sept. 28-30), the Bettie Lou Evans Invitational (Oct. 5-7) and the Landfall Tradition (Oct. 5-7). At the Bettie Lou Evans Invitational, senior Emma Albrecht tied for fourth and the team finished fifth. At the Schooner Fall Classic, Notre Dame shot a final-round six-under par 278.
