Lopez Ramirez Named WGCA First Team All-American

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Mississippi State women's golf standout Julia Lopez Ramirez was named a Women's Golf Coaches Association First Team All-American, the national organization announced Friday.

Lopez Ramirez's achievement of becoming a three-time WGCA All-American and a back-to-back First Team All-American is a testament to her exceptional talent. In doing so, she has etched her name in Mississippi State's golf history, becoming only the third Bulldog to earn WGCA All-American honors three times, a feat previously accomplished by Carri Wood (1991-93) and Kathe Kingston (1983-85). Similarly, she joins an elite group of Bulldogs who have earned a pair of first team honors, including Ally McDonald (2013-14) and Carri Wood (1992-93).

A native of Malaga, Spain, Lopez Ramirez has made a name for herself as one of the best collegiate golfers in the country. The junior All-American has again put together an impressive campaign, marked by numerous individual and team honors throughout the 2023-24 season.

Lopez Ramirez was named the SEC Player of the Year for the second consecutive season after becoming just the fifth women's golfer in SEC history to win back-to-back individual SEC Championships. She also earned First Team All-SEC honors for the third consecutive season. Most recently, she was named to the watchlist for the ANNIKA Award, given annually to the best women's college golfer in America, and the PING WGCA Player of the Year watchlist.

She helped lead the Bulldogs to their third straight NCAA Championship in 2024, becoming one of just 14 teams nationally to make each of the last three championships. It was also the first time in program history that MSU had advanced to the NCAA Championships for three consecutive seasons. While competing at the NCAA Championship, Lopez Ramirez finished eighth with a four-day total of 2-under par, her second-best career score at the championship event. Her eighth-place finish was her 23rd career top 10 finish and her best finish in three NCAA Championships. She joined Ally McDonald (T4 in 2014 & T10 in 2013) as the only Bulldogs in program history to finish inside the top 10 at the NCAA Championship.
