DALLAS – OnThursday, a pair of Aggies were recognized for their dedication to greatness on and off the golf course. Emma Bunch and Angela Garvin have been named to the 2024-25 Women’s Golf All-Academic First Team. The duo is among just five first-teamers, and this marks the second CUSA all-academic selection for Bunch and Garvin, who garnered first-team honors last year.
Bunch, a junior from Lynge, Denmark, is majoring in biochemistry and is maintaining a 4.0 grade-point average. She is the No. 35 player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and has twice been named CUSA Golfer of the Week this season. She is currently on a streak of 17 consecutive top 25 finishes while placing inside the top 10 in 11 of her previous 13 starts. This season, she has five top 10 finishes in six tournaments, including a win in the Aggies’ first event of the season – the Golfweek Fall Challenge. She has also logged four rounds in the 60s this season.
Garvin, a graduate student from Feeding Hills, Mass., is also maintaining a 4.0 GPA and is pursuing a master’s in business administration. She is amid her second season with the program and is coming off of her best performance of the season as she placed tied for 6th at the Riverbend Intercollegiate where she shot a 218 (+2), including a 68 (-4) in the opening round of action to mark her first round in the 60s this season. Off of the top 10 finish, Garvin was named the CUSA Golfer of the Week – an honor she has now claimed twice in her career. She is also one of only two Aggies to appear in the lineup in all five of the team’s events.
In addition to the two Aggies, the full list of all-academic honorees includes three individuals from Western Kentucky, two members of the Sam Houston program, and one individual each from Middle Tennessee, UTEP and FIU.
