Lu, Gray Earn All-NACC Recognition

Sophomore Yinan Lu and senior Kayla Gray each earned All-NACC recognition for their performances at the NACC Championship.

Lu (Qindao, China) earns her second all-conference award after finishing third at the conference championship.  Lu improved over each round opening with a 79 followed by a 78 and a 76.  Her third-round score of 76 was tied for the lowest among the field for the final 18 holes.  She finished the event with a pair of birdies, both coming on the eighth hole in the second and third round.  Lu led the Sabres all fall and finished with a 78.1 stroke average over 12 rounds.  She earned medalist recognition at the Marian Invite which also earned her NACC Player of the Week recognition.

Gray (Wisconsin Dells, Wis.) earns her first all-conference recognition after placing in the top five of the NACC Championship.  Gray showed consistency scoring with an 80 and 81 before finishing the event with a 77.  Her final round was the third time this season she finished below 80 strokes in a single round.  Gray had three birdies at the NACC Championship with two coming in the opening round, the par-five holes eight and 10, and one on the par-four sixth hole in the second round.  She had a spectacular fall finishing with an 82.0 stroke average over 12 rounds.  Gray had two other top-five finishes along with her NACC Championship performance including a third-place finish at the Fighting Scot Invitational.

This is the first time multiple student-athletes from Marian women’s golf have earned All-NACC recognition since the 2020-21 season.
