FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas women’s golfer Maria Fassi was named SEC Female Athlete of the Year by the league’s athletic directors on Wednesday.
Florida track and field athlete Grant Holloway earned the honor on the men's side.
"So humbled and (honored) to receive this recognition,” Fassi posted to her verified Twitter account shorty after the announcement. “I could’ve not done any of it without the support from my teammates, coaches and staff (at Arkansas). Thanks everyone for making this possible.”
Fassi closed her college career in style, winning both SEC and NCAA individual national titles. She also became the first golfer to win back-to-back ANNIKA Awards, presented annually to the top female United States collegiate golfer.
