AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn freshman Megan Schofill was recognized by the Women's Golf Coaches Association as a member of the 2019-20 All-American Scholar Team, the WGCA announced Monday. 

Schofill, who is studying in the College of Liberal Arts, completed her first year at Auburn with a 4.0 cumulative GPA. Golfers are required to have a minimum 3.50 GPA to be considered.  

On the course, Schofill was one of the top freshmen nationally with four top-10 finishes in seven tournaments before the season was cut short due to COVID-19. She secured her first collegiate title with an individual victory at the Lake Oconee Invitational in February, and she shot 10 of 19 rounds at par or better for the season, matching junior Kaleigh Telfer with a team-low average score of 71.95 per round.  

In May, Schofill was named First Team All-SEC and was also selected to the SEC's All-Freshman Team. 

The last Auburn player to make the WGCA's All-American Scholar Team was Kelli Murphy in 2018. Murphy, a four-time selection, was also the program's last freshman to be recognized for the honor. Auburn has now had a WGCA All-American Scholar in 12 of the last 13 years.
