Charleston, Campbell, Delaware Collect Major Award Honors for 2023-24 CAA Women’s Golf Season
Miles McQuiggan
RICHMOND, Va. (May 3, 2024) – An established contributor, a rising star from a league newcomer, and the coach of the CAA champions highlight the awards for the 2023-24 CAA Women’s Golf season.
Charleston senior
Viktoria Hund was voted by the league’s coaches as CAA Golfer of the Year for the second time in three years, while Campbell freshman
Alicia Olsson collected Rookie of the Year honors in her first season of collegiate competition. Delaware’s
Patty Post is CAA Coach of the Year for the third time after leading Delaware to the CAA title.
Hund is Charleston’s seventh CAA Golfer of the Year and one of five players to win the honor multiple times, joining Charleston’s Laura Fuenfstueck (2014-15, 17), Georgia State’s Charlotte Lorentzen (2010-12), UNCW’s Carmen Perez-Narbon (2007, 2009), and James Madison’s Carol Green (2003-04). The senior from Germany forced an individual playoff in the CAA Championship and was in the top 20 six times against Charleston’s customarily challenging schedule, including a third-place result at Edisto Island in October. Hund earned an individual at-large spot in next week’s Auburn Regional.
Olsson turned in four top-10 finishes in her freshman campaign, including a fifth-place result at the CAA Championship. The freshman from Sweden was seventh at the Sea Best Intercollegiate to open the spring after fall finishes of seventh at the Golfweek Fall Challenge and fifth at The Southern. Olsson is Campbell’s second consecutive Rookie of the Year, as teammate
Isabella Hahne won Big South Freshman of the Year honors in 2023.
Post is CAA Coach of the Year for the third time and first since 2017 – the last time Delaware won the CAA title before this spring. The Blue Hens rank in the top 100 in Clippd and finished sixth or better as a team in eight of 10 tournaments in 2023-24 including a second-place result out of 15 teams at the ECU Ironwood Invitational leading into St. James. The Blue Hens’ challenging slate paid off with a trip to NCAA Regionals next week in North Carolina.
The five All-CAA first-team selections hail from four different teams, as Charleston’s Hund and
Emma Schimpf are joined by Olsson, Delaware’s
Alisa Khokhlova, and UNCW’s
Mallory Fobes.
Charleston placed two more competitors on the All-CAA second team, as Cougars
Adrian Anderson and
Emily Dunlap were joined by Campbell’s
Mira Berglund, Delaware’s
Christina Carroll, and Elon’s
Annie Wu.
