Taylor Tomlinson – Season Highlights:

· Ended the 2014-15 regular season with a team-high six top-25 finishes, including a personal-best sixth-place finish.

Head Coach Emily Glaser Says: “I am really happy for Taylor to have this recognition, she is certainly deserving. Her work ethic this year has been tremendous and this award is a reflection of that.
