CofC's Fuenfstueck Sweeps 2014 CAA Women's Golf Postseason Honors
RICHMOND, Va. (April 30, 2014) – College of Charleston freshman Laura Fuenfstueck was selected as the 2014 Colonial Athletic Association Women’s Golfer and Rookie of the Year by the league’s head coaches.
Also earning top honors from the conference was the Cougars’ Jamie Futrell as CAA Coach of the Year.
Fuenfstueck became the first freshman to win the individual title at the CAA Women’s Golf Championship after scoring 72-76—148 (+4). The Frankfurt, Germany native won three tournaments during her rookie campaign, while carding a 73.21 scoring average over 11 events. She scored a career-low 68 at the CSU Wendy’s Invitational, where she earned her first medalist honors in October of 2013. In addition to her three victories, Fuenfstueck posted five Top 2 finishes, and nine Top 20 honors. Fuenfstueck is the third golfer in CAA history to earn both the Golfer and Rookie of the Year honors in the same season, joining UNCW’s Carmen Perez-Narbon (2007) and Georgia State’s Iliska Verwey (2008).
Futrell, who is in his 18th season at the helm of the Cougars, earned CAA Women’s Coach of the Year honors after guiding CofC to its first league title in its inaugural year in the conference. Futrell coached the team to four team titles on the season and seven Top 5 finishes over 11 tournaments in 2013-14. College of Charleston posted an average score of 298.90 on the year and earned the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals.
