STANFORD, Calif. - Sophomore Andrea Lee was named All-America first team by the Women's Golf Coaches Association for the second straight year and classmate Albane Valenzuela earned an honorable mention citation, as announced recently.
Lee claimed three wins throughout the 2017-18 campaign, and helped the Cardinal advance to the match-play portion of the NCAA Championships for the fourth time in as many seasons. A bogey-free Lee was the best player on the course in the final round of stroke play at the NCAA Championships, starting off her round with five birdies in the first eight holes and shot a course-record tying 7-under 65. She tied for second overall, the highest individual finish for a Stanford golfer over the past two decades.
Heading into the NCAA Championships, Lee (4th -- 70.73 adjusted scoring average) and Valenzuela (29th -- 72.25) were two of GolfStat's top collegiate golfers.
Valenzuela, an All-Pac-12 performer with three top-10 finishes, was tabbed fourth in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, and is the list's top Swiss golfer. Lee was fifth in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
