McMyler, Musketeers Earn BIG EAST Accolades

NEW YORK - Xavier women's golf picked up multiple accolades on Thursday afternoon as the BIG EAST announced its major award winners and all-conference selections. The selections were voted on by conference head coaches.

Emma McMyler captured BIG EAST Freshman and Player of the Year honors, while teammates Mikayla Fitzpatrick and Andie Shukow earned All-BIG EAST honors. Breanna Jenco and her staff (David Patz) also picked up 'Coaching Staff of the Year' honors.

McMyler is the first golfer to earn both awards in the same season since Notre Dame's Lindsey Weaver in 2013. The San Antonio, Texas, native leads the BIG EAST in lowest average score (73.88) this season, while ranking 215th overall in the NCAA. She was the team's top performer in all five tournaments prior to the BIG EAST Championships, which included three top-10 individual finishes.

Mikayla Fitzpatrick, the 2019 BIG EAST Golfer of the Year and 2017 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, earns all-conference honors for the fourth time in her career. The Phoenix, Ariz., native ranks third in the conference in lowest average score (75.71) this season.

Andie Shukow earns all-conference honors for the first time in her career. The Boca Raton, Fla., native ranks fifth in the conference in lowest average score (75.83) this season.

Coach Jenco earns coach of the year honors for the third time in her career after leading the Musketeers to the 2021 BIG EAST Title. She also earned the honors in 2016 and 2019.

Xavier is coming off its second straight conference title, winning the team title on April 25. The Musketeers had five players finish in the top 10, including individual medalist Morgan Tinsley.

The Musketeers will participate in the NCAA Louisville Regional on May 10-12 in Simpsonville, Ky.
