FORT MYERS, Fla. – Florida Gulf Coast University's Lousiane Gauthier has been named to the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Academic Team for women's golf after a strong performance in the classroom and stellar play on the course. The announcement was made by the conference office in Jacksonville on Tuesday morning.

A native of Canelones, Uruguay, Gauthier has a 3.678 GPA while pursuing her degree in software engineering. On the course, Gauthier has set an FGCU record for most tournament wins in a season with four. Her most recent victory came last week in the ASUN Championships, where she was the only player in the field to shoot even par over the three rounds. Her birdie on the 18th hole in the final round moved the Green and Blue into a tie with Stetson for the team crown, which FGCU won on the fourth playoff hole to clinch the program's first ASUN Championship.

Gauthier earned wins in back-to-back tournaments in the fall, taking the individual crown at the Pat Bradley Invitational Sept. 30-Oct. 1 by a stroke and helping the Eagles to their second team championship of the season. In FGCU's next event, the junior paced the field at the Diamante Intercollegiate Oct. 20-22. In the final round, Gauthier carded a 65 (-7) to win the tournament by two shots and help FGCU to a win by three over Boston College.

At the start of the spring, Gauthier was named the co-champion of the Sea Best Invitational Jan. 27-28. She carded a final round score of 69 (-3) to rally for the win.

In all, Gauthier has a stroke average of 72.3 this season. Her five career collegiate tournament wins are the most in FGCU women's golf history.

The Eagles will return to the course May 5-7 at the NCAA Regionals. FGCU will find out its destination during the NCAA Women's Golf Selection Show Wednesday at 1 p.m. on the Golf Channel.
