Bayle, a sophomore from France, showcased her skills with impressive finishes, including a third-place at the World Golf Invitational. Toennessen, hailing from Norway, demonstrated consistency throughout the season with a top-five finish at the SSC Championship.

By the Numbers
  • Justine Bayle secured 84 head-to-head wins at the World Golf Invitational.
  • Ruth Toennessen achieved a 222 (+6) at the SSC Championship.
Yes, But

Despite the recognition, the competition remains fierce as Nova Southeastern led the All-Conference list with three selections, highlighting potential challenges ahead for Tampa's golfers.

State of Play
  • A total of eight institutions had players recognized, underscoring the competition level in the SSC.
  • Barry's Tereza Zavrelova was named SSC Women's Golfer of the Year, showcasing the depth of talent within the conference.

Bottom Line

The achievements of Bayle and Toennessen highlight the strong performance of the Tampa women's golf team, but they must continue to adapt and grow in a highly competitive conference landscape.
