Charlotte, N.C. – The Big South Athletic Conference released its Women's Golf All-Conference teams and annual award winners on Monday morning, naming multiple Panthers to the list. 
 
After an outstanding year for the High Point women's golf team, first year head coach Lyndsey Hunnell was named the Co-Coach of the Year along with Charleston Southern's, Jordan Jeffers. Adding to the trophy case, the individual medalist, Sarah Kahn was named the Golfer of the Year, becoming HPU's first ever recipient for this award. She also earned spots on the All-Conference first team, All-Academic team, and All-Championship teams. Daniella Suh and Ella Perna were both named to the All-Conference honorable mention team while Perna was awarded to the All-Freshman and All-Championship teams.
 
Hunnell led her team this season to a second-place finish in the Big South Women's Championship before advancing on to a second-place finish in match play. During the 2022-23 season, the Panthers brought home two tournament titles, the Grandover Fall Classic and the Rivertowne Classic and finished in the top 10 in eight different tournaments. She coached Kahn to a Big South individual title and Golfer of the Year award while her roster combined for eight top 10 individual finishes.
 
Kahn, the graduate student from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, won the individual title at the Big South Women's Golf Championships after carding a 1-over par 217 (72-74-71) for an automatic qualify to the NCAA Regionals. Kahn collected three individual titles during the 2022-23 season, including the UNCG Fall Event, the Kingsmill Tournament, and the Big South Championships. She now holds the lowest stroke average in the Big South with a 73.43 after finishing in the top 10 in five different tournaments. She was a three-time Big South Golfer of the Week this season and carded two of the four lowest rounds in conference with a 7-under par 209 and a 3-under par 213.
 
The freshman, Perna, from Durham, North Carolina showed up and showed out this season as a rookie.
