STARKVILLE – Following a record-breaking year that was unfortunately cut short, freshman Ashley Gilliam was named a Golfweek Third Team All-American on Monday.
"It's an honor to be acknowledged by another organization as an All-American," said head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm. "Ashley's great year was record breaking, and we will build on this experience when the fall schedule begins."
Last week, Gilliam was also named to the WGCA All-American Honorable Mention Team, making this her second All-American recognition of the year.
Gilliam earned a sixth-place ranking in the most recent Arnold Palmer Cup standings. She also ranked sixth in Division I, second in the SEC and set the MSU program record with a 70.61 season stroke average. In addition, she set the MSU freshman records for Rounds of Par or Better (13) and Rounds in the 60s (5).
Overall, Gilliam is ranked 43rd in the country after posting four top-10 finishes, including three performances inside the top-three. She was named SEC Golfer of the Week after finishing tied for second at the Westbrook Spring Invitational, where she shot 203, marking the second-lowest score in MSU history, and was 13-under-par, matching the program record for score in relation to par. Gilliam ended the year by shooting 10-consecutive rounds of par or better.
