DALLAS — UTSA has placed four student-athletes on the All-Conference USA Women's Golf Teams, as Camryn Carreon and Ana Gonzalez landed on the first team while Hunter Nugent and Nicole Polivchak made the third team.
Carreon's first-team selection marks her second career all-conference award, as the San Antonio native made the second team a year ago. She ranks second on the team with a 74.13 stroke average and has logged six top-20 finishes in 2021-22. The junior earned runner-up honors at the C-USA Championship to earn all-tournament team accolades and help lead UTSA to second place for the second straight season. Carreon tied for sixth at the Tulane Classic and she carded a 3-under-par 213 that featured a season-best 69 en route to tying for 15th at the Paradise Invitational.
Gonzalez becomes the first Roadrunner to collect five all-conference certificates, as the super senior picked up her second career first-team honor this year. The Monterrey, Mexico, native leads UTSA with a 73.97 stroke average to go along with four top-10 finishes this season. She has placed in the top six in each of her last three tournaments, including a runner-up showing with a 4-under 212 to help the Roadrunners win the Chattanooga Classic and a third-place effort at the C-USA Championship to earn all-tournament team accolades. Gonzalez also made the first team in 2019 after winning the C-USA individual crown and she was a second-team selection in 2018 when she was named C-USA Freshman of the Year and a third-team choice each of the past two years.
Nugent was tabbed third-team all-conference in her debut season with the Roadrunners. The transfer from Oakville, Ontario, owns a 75.37 scoring average and a pair of top 10-finishes in 2021-22. She posted an 8-under 208 to tie for 10th at the season-opening Sam Golden Invitational grabbed a share of fourth place while competing as an individual at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational. Nugent has shot under 70 four times this season, including a 6-under 66 at the Paradise Invitational in February.
Polivchak picked up her first career all-conference award as a Roadrunner with her third-team nod this season. The super senior from Sarasota, Florida, stands third on the squad with a 75.1 average and she is riding a streak of four consecutive top-20 finishes. She placed ninth at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational and 17th at the C-USA Championship to help lead UTSA to runner-up team showings at both tournaments. Polivchak also tied for 13th to help lead the Roadrunners to the Chattanooga Classic team crown.
With this year's league-high four selections, UTSA now has garnered 40 all-conference certificates in its 17-year history, including 12 in five seasons under head coach Summer Batiste, a two-time C-USA coach of the Year honoree.
UTSA has earned an at-large berth to the NCAA Women's Golf Championships, as the Roadrunners will make their fourth consecutive and seventh overall NCAA postseason appearance when they travel to Tennessee as the No. 9 seed in the Franklin Regional on May 9-11 at Vanderbilt Legends Club North Course.
