CORAL SPRINGS, FL – UW-Eau Claire women’s golfer Sarah Hansen (Sr.-Bangor, Wis.) has been named to the 2008 National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) All-American Scholar Team for Division III, NCGA officials announced today.

Hansen, an elementary education major, maintained a 3.61 cumulative GPA at UW-Eau Claire and graduated this spring. She was one of five golfers to represent UW-Eau Claire at the NCAA Division III Championship, where she finished in 99th place overall. Hansen was also named as the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s (WIAC) Judy Kruckman Scholar-Athlete last fall.

This year, 402 golfers from Divisions I, II and III were recognized for the honor. Only 56 athletes from Division III were selected to this year’s team.
