For the second time in four seasons, the fifth-ranked San José State women’s golf team swept the Mountain West postseason honors and placed four players on the All-MW first team.
Natasha Andrea Oon has been named the MW Player of the Year for the second time in three years, while freshman Lucia Lopez Ortega is the MW Freshman of the Year. Spartan head coach Dana Dormann adds to her trophy case as she is the MW Coach of the Year for the second time (2019 & 2022).
The Spartans also placed four on the first team All-MW – Oon, Lopez Ortega, Kajsa Arwefjäll and Antonia Malate. The four players from one school are the most on the first team since 2006 when UNLV placed four players on an eight-player team.
