SAN BRUNO, Calif. - Gonzaga University's Sage Suffecool and Stephanie Corey received All-West Coast Conference women's golf honorable mention honors.

It is the first WCC honor for both.

Corey, a sophomore from Burien, Wash., had a 54-hole score of 244 to finish tied for 13th in the WCC Championship. Suffecool, a junior from Tucson, Ariz., shot 245 to tie for 14th. Both golfers averaged 78.3 strokes/round for the season.

Pepperdine swept the three post-season honors as sophomore Lisa McCloskey, freshman Danielle Kang and Coach Laurie Gibbs were named this year's WCC Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, and Coach of the Year, respectively. The Waves won their ninth straight WCC title at the Championships last week by a total of 32 strokes, while WCC Player of the Year McCloskey rallied to earn medalist honors with a 54-hole score of 218.

The All-WCC women's golf team was selected after the WCC Championships at the Hiddenbrooke Golf Course last week. The first five players on the team were chosen by the conference coaches, while the next five on the list and honorable mention selections were based on individual finish at the WCC tournament.
