CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - For the third consecutive year rising senior Cecily Overbey was named an All-American Scholar by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) on Wednesday.

A High Point, N.C., native, Overbey played in seven tournaments and boasted a 76.81 stroke average over 19 rounds. She carded a round of 72 (E) on three separate occasions, and posted her best finish of the season at the Tar Heel Invite where she shot 72-73-76=221 (+5) to finish T28th.

She additionally was a member of the squad that won the Lady Puerto Rico Invitational in February – the program's first win since the 2012-13 season.

The business administration major holds a 3.780 cumulative grade point average.

The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. Players must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 and have competed in at least 50 percent of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
