IRVINE, Calif. - Four Long Beach State women's golfers were named to the All-Big West Conference team, the league office announced on Tuesday.
Sophomore Simone Hoey and junior Monica Villarreal were named to the first-team and senior Reina Rogers and junior Noelle Zavaleta were tabbed as honorable mention.
This was the second year in a row, four golfers from LBSU were named to the all-conference team. In 2006, the year the 49ers received their first-ever at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, five players were selected to the all-conference team.
This is the second consecutive year Hoey was named to the all-conference first team, while this was Villarreal's first as she was selected honorable mention last year. For Zavaleta, this is the second year in a row she has been named to all-conference as she was tabbed second team last season. This was Rogers ' second honorable mention in three years as she was selected in 2009, the year she helped the 49ers claim their first Big West Championship and advanced to the program's second NCAA Tournament appearance.
LBSU placed second at the Big West Championship last week in Rancho Santa Margarita, finishing behind defending tournament champion UC Davis. Villarreal led the way for LBSU, finishing with a career-best 4-under 212 and a low-round 67. Rogers tied for 16th at 14-over and Hoey tied for 21st (+15).
