Golf: Goodley twins earn WGCA All-American Scholar honors

A quartet of Austin Peay State University women's golfers are among the 828 golfers recognized by the Women's Golf Coaches Association as All-American Scholars, announced Monday by the WGCA.

Senior Jessica Cathey (business major), sophomore AnnaMichelle Moore (business) and freshmen Ashton Goodley (psychology) and Taylor Goodley (political science) each achieved the requisite 3.50 cumulative grade-point average.

Cathey wrapped up her collegiate career with a third All-Ohio Valley Conference honor, while Taylor Goodley captured All-Newcomer honors-the first by an APSU women's golfer since Cathey in 2013. All four of Austin Peay's WGCA All-American Scholars were part of the Governors quintet at the 2016 OVC Championships, which saw APSU finish in the top-five for the first time since 2013.

"I am very proud of the way the team makes academics a priority," said head coach Sara Robson. "We are excited to have four players receive this honor."

Ashton and Taylor Goodley are 2015 graduates of Eldorado High School.
