INA, Ill. (June 2, 2020) — After a successful year on the links, three golfers from Rend Lake College were selected for the National Junior College Athletic Association Region 24 All-Region Team.
Alex Sadler, along with Paige Hamel and Ryleigh Vaughn, was recently named to the Region 24 Team, which features golfers from schools throughout Southern and Central Illinois.
“These ladies are being recognized for being among the very best in their Region,” said RLC Women’s Head Golf Coach James Gray. “It is quite the honor to be selected to this team as it is voted on by all the coaches.”
The RLC Women’s Golf Team was able to compete in several tournaments in the fall before the season was cut short due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic this spring. However, the team was still able to put together a list of accomplishments in the truncated season.
Sadler led the way for the Lady Warriors with an average of 80. She shot the second-lowest round of the Indiana Wesleyan Invitational with a 73 and would go on to finish 11th in the tournament. Later, at the William Baptist University Fall Invitational in Arkansas, Sadler made the fourth hole-in-one in Lady Warrior history and would go on to place second overall. Sadler plans on returning next year for another season at RLC.
