Landmark Releases Women's Golf Awards
TOWSON, Md. – The Landmark Conference announced its 2021 Women's Golf All-Conference teams. Mary Colella of Catholic University took home Golfer of the Year honors, while Cardinal head coach, Ed Dolan, earned Coach of the Year. Drew University's Nyah Sanders was named the Rookie of the Year.
After earning Rookie of the Year honors in 2019, Colella was named Player of the Year after shooting a career-low 80 at the conference championship. She totaled two birdies and seven pars, accounting for one-third of the six birdies recorded at the event. Colella finished in the top-5 in all five events she played in this spring while earning two low medalist accolades. She has totaled a career-best 85.20 season average, an improvement of two strokes over last year and seven from 2019.
Sanders becomes Drew's second Landmark Conference Women's Golf Rookie of the Year, as Marissa Broderick claimed the same award while claiming medalist honors at the inaugural Landmark Women's Golf Championship in 2018. She parred four holes on the front-9 en route to a 45 before finishing with a 44, thanks to three more pars. She led the entire field in par-3 scoring (3.33) and beat out the next-closest freshman by five strokes.
In just its third year of competition, Dolan led Catholic to the program's first-ever conference championship. In addition, the Cardinals finished first in two of their four regular season matches this spring while finishing second in the other two. The team had four players earn all-conference honors after having three in 2019, including Co-Rookies of the Year.
