NEW YORK – Xavier freshman Emma McMyler has been named BIG EAST Player of the Year and BIG EAST Freshman of the Year in women’s golf. McMyler also headlines a seven-player All-BIG EAST Team. The selections were made by the league’s head coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their own players.
The Xavier coaching staff, led by head coach Breanna Jenco, was named BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year. The Musketeers recently won the BIG EAST Championship at the Club at Gateway in Ft. Myers, Fla. It was Xavier’s second straight conference crown.
McMyler, a native of San Antonio, Texas, is the first golfer to win both awards in the same year since Notre Dame’s Lindsey Weaver in 2013.
