AUSTIN, Tex. – Junior Brooke Cusumano was named to the 2016 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District Women's At-Large team, the organization announced Thursday.
Cusumano was one of the top golfers for the Salukis this year, finishing the season with the team's lowest stroke average at 76.48 through 31 rounds, which ranks fifth all-time at SIU for best stroke average in a season. She also led the team with 57 birdies.
This season, Cusumano competed in every tournament for the Salukis, including the MVC Championship, and was SIU's top finisher at five. She earned one individual title this season as the top finisher of 75 golfers at the Murray State Invitational in September with a career-best 148 36-hole score. Cusumano also had an impressive finish when she shot a season-best round of 70 in the final round of the ORU/SFA Spring Break Invite to finish tied for eighth of 100 with a season-best 220 score. She finished the season with 25 rounds in the 70s.
Aside from her accomplishments on the course, Cusumano has maintained a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA in accounting. At the conclusion of the season, Cusumano earned MVC Scholar-Athlete recognition for the second consecutive year. She was also named MVC Scholar Athlete of the Week at the start of the season in September.
Cusumano's name will be added to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team ballot as a first-time Academic All-District honoree. All-America honorees will be announced later this month.
