Big Ten Preseason Honors List (Aug. 30)
Seniors Megan Kim and Emily White along with junior Elodie Van Dievoet represent Michigan on the Big Ten Preseason Honors List.
Kim and White have helped the Wolverines to back-to-back regional and NCAA Finals appearances. Kim was a steady force for the Wolverines, starting all 12 events last season. She averaged 76.09 per round and produced three top-20 finishes. White also started all 12 events while averaging 76.45 per round. She produced two top-10 finishes, leading U-M by tying for sixth at the Trinity Forest Invitational and tying for third at the Hurricane Invitational after posting a season-best 213 (-3).
Van Dievoet looks to follow up her breakout season after she won U-M's first medalist honor at the Big Ten Championships (April 21-23) and became the first WGCA All-American in program history. Her dramatic 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at the Columbus Regional (May 8-10) helped her to a top-10 individual finish and send U-M to the NCAA Finals for a second straight season. Van Dievoet recorded the highest individual finish for a Wolverine, tying for fourth, while pacing U-M to its best finish at the championships, tying for 16th. Van Dievoet finished as the top Wolverine in nine of the 12 events, including seven of the eight spring tournaments. In fact, she posted seven top-10 finishes, including five of the final seven events as well as all three postseason tournaments. She broke U-M's single-season scoring record with her 73.09 per-round mark, leading U-M with 12 total sub-par rounds.
