Four Eagles named WGCA Scholar All-Americans
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Four Florida Gulf Coast University women's golfers have been named Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) Scholar All-Americans.
Lousiane Gauthier, Posie Farrelly, Leonie Wulfers and Islay Benoit each earned the academic honor, which requires student-athletes to hold a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 or higher on a 4.0 scale and have competed in at least 50 percent of the team's rounds. Postseason rounds are not included in the eligibility criteria.
Gauthier led the Eagles to their 2025 ASUN Championship crown and NCAA Tournament appearance in Lubbock, Texas. She advanced to the NCAA Championship in Carlsbad, California, after placing fourth at the regional event.
The sophomore won four tournaments during the 2024–25 season, including a medalist performance at the ASUN Championship, where she claimed the individual title by four strokes. She captured three of the team's first five events and did not finish lower than 24th heading into postseason play. An All-ASUN First Team selection, Gauthier recorded a team-best 72.4 scoring average and finished the season ranked No. 150 nationally.
Farrelly posted a 73.9 scoring average and earned ASUN Second Team honors. She finished fifth at the Johnie Imes Invitational and ninth at the ASUN Championship.
Wulfers opened the season with a top-three finish and followed with back-to-back sixth-place showings. She closed the season with a 75.8 scoring average. Benoit, a freshman, recorded six top-25 finishes, including one top-five result. She averaged 75.4 over 31 rounds and was named to the ASUN All-Freshman Team.
