UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Penn State women's golf team had three members from its 2022-23 roster receive Big Ten Women's Golf Preseason Honors earlier Wednesday morning. Senior Sarah Willis (Eaton, Ohio) was named a preseason honoree for the fourth time in her career while senior Mathilde Dellavallade (Royan, France) received her third consecutive preseason mention and classmate Isha Dhruva (Katy, Texas) earned her second-straight preseason accolade.
The conference honored a total of 41 players from the 14 member schools when they released the list early Wednesday afternoon.
Delavallade paced the Nittany Lions during the 2021-22 campaign with a 73.77 stroke average and a pair of top-5 finishes including her individual medalist honors at the Nittany Lion Invitational where she fired three sub-70 rounds leading to a career-best 10-under finish, just one stroke off the tournament record. The Royan, France native, also finished tied for fifth at the Boston College Intercollegiate.
Willis finished slightly behind Delavallade with a 74.04 stroke average and one top-5 finish also coming at the Nittany Lion invitational last season. She used a Nittany Lion record and career-low round of 6-under, 66, during the second round and finished the weekend fifth.
Dhruva finished fifth on the team with a 75.90 stroke average and had her best career finish posting 4-under, 212, at the UNF Collegiate finishing the tournament fourth in the 90-player field.
