MEET the COUGARS
Under the leadership of Carolyn Macow Leatherwood Head Coach Lydia Gumm, the Cougars will be represented by Kim, freshmen Natalie Saint Germain, Alexa Saldana and Moa Svedenskiold and junior Nicole Abelar. Junior Delaney Martin will compete as an individual.
A year ago, Kim was the team leader, posting a team-best 74.03 scoring average with 11 rounds of par or lower. The Seoul native finished with three Top-12 individual finishes, including a season-best fourth-place showing at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational.
Kim became the first Cougar to compete in NCAA Regional play as an individual competitor and was named to the All-American Athletic Conference Team after tying for 12th at the league's Championships. She also earned honors as a WGCA All-American Scholar and was named to The American's All-Academic Team.
Saint German, Saldana and Svedenskiold will make their collegiate debuts as freshmen with the Cougars after award-winning junior careers.
Abelar was named to the All-Conference Team after tying for fourth at The American Championships and compete at the U.S. Amateur Championships in August. Martin is one of the elder stateswomen on the Cougars' 2022-23 roster as a two-year letterwinner.
