BRUNSWICK, Maine – Bowdoin College first-year Emily Renoff (Glen Ridge, N.J.) has become the first All-American in Polar Bear women's golf history in awards handed out by the Women's Golf Coaches Association on Wednesday evening.
 
Renoff, who just wrapped up her season by becoming the first Bowdoin golfer to appear in the NCAA Division III Championship, was named a Second Team All-American and a member of the WGCA All-Freshman Team.
 
She entered NCAA play ranked 16^th in the nation following a season that included two individual wins (The Ruckus and Williams Fall Invitational) and an adjusted scoring average of 72.9 this year. At the Williams Invitational in September, Renoff set a new single-round record (68) and 36-hole record (139).
 
At NCAA's this week in Williamsburg, Va., Renoff battled through tough playing conditions in round one to finish 83-78-161, missing the cut. It was an historic appearance for the first-year, who became the first Polar Bears golfer – men's or women's – to qualify for an NCAA Championship.
