In the spring, Batey, Beard and Deaton all were nominated for Capital One Academic All-America honors, with Batey and Beard also sharing APSU’s Scholar-Athlete Award at the annual athletics banquet.
The criteria for selection to the NGCA All-American Scholar Team are considered to be some of the most stringent in college athletics—the minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50.
Overall, a total of 585 women college golfers were recognized with the prestigious honors, including 368 Division I golfers. It is the second straight year Austin Peay has had five golfers named to the All-American Scholar Team.
