Pomeroy sisters lauded for scholarship excellence

LEWISTON–The Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) recognized four members of the Lewis-Clark State Women's Golf team, Chase Caruso, Deana Caruso, Kyla Currie, and Dallis Shockey, for high academics with the WGCA All-American Scholar Honor. They each brought home the award.

Chase Caruso, a Pomeroy High School graduate, finished her freshman season as a Business major with a 3.94 GPA, and sister Deana Caruso, also a Pomeroy High School graduate, earned her degree in Graphic Communications with a 3.56 GPA.

"I am very proud of our women's team and their accomplishments in the classroom," Head Coach Zach Anderson said. "They know they are students first and the ultimate goal is to walk across that stage at the end of their time as a Warrior. We have high academic standards on our team and these ladies crushed the goals we set while also competing at a high level athletically. Happy to see their hard work rewarded by being named WGCA All-American Scholars."

To be selected, a student-athlete must have an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher and have played in 50% of the team's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.

Senior Currie graduated with her degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science with a 3.77 grade point average, and sophomore Shockey earned a GPA of 3.98 as a Business Management major.
