BOCA RATON, Fla. – For the first time in 36 years, Florida Atlantic University women's golf has an All-American. Golfweek in association with USA Today Sports announced on Monday that Letizia Bagnoli earned a nod as an Honorable Mention.
Bagnoli rewrote the record book in her first season as an Owl. The senior transfer from Wake Forest won four times, including her first three events. She tied the single season program record for wins with a seven-shot victory at the C-USA Championship in April. Below is a full list of accomplishments for the Italian from just the 2021-22 campaign:
Bagnoli is FAU's first women's golf All-American since 1986 when Karen Gray earned the honor for the third consecutive season.
As a team, under the direction of first-year head coach Heather Bowie Young, the Owls won two tournaments and finished a program-best T3 at the Conference USA Championship. Bowie Young expects most of this year's roster back in the fall including Bagnoli.
