Report by LBSU<\/span><\/p>\n Four Long Beach State women\u2019s golfers were named to the All-Big West Conference team, the league office announced on Tuesday. Freshman Simone Hoey was named to the first-team, sophomore Noelle Zavaleta was a second-team selection and junior Lindsey McAtee and sophomore Monica Villarreal were tabbed as honorable mention. This was the most awards the 49ers have received from the conference since 2006, when five players were selected to all-conference team. LBSU placed second at the Big West Championships one week ago in San Luis Obispo, finishing six strokes ahead of No. 40 UC Irvine. The 49ers had three players finish in the top 10 at the Big West Championships. Hoey (Rancho Cucamonga) led the way for LBSU as she placed third with a 9-over, finishing just one-stroke behind the leaders, while Zavaleta (Lakewood) tied for ninth at 16-over. McAtee (Poway) tied for 15th (+21) and Villarreal (Yorba Linda) finished in 23rd (+24). \u201cI was really happy with our final round performance at the Big West Championships under tough weather conditions, especially with Lindsey and Simone,\u201d said 49er Head Coach Joey Cerulle. \u201cThe nominations reflect the body of work of this team\u2019s performance. Simone has put in a lot of hard work to get to where she is now and will get even better over the next three years. Noelle has been very consistent throughout the season, while Lindsey has improved drastically over the last two years and Monica was impressive with just a semesters worth of work,\u201d stated Cerulle. \u201cThis team will be exciting to watch for the next couple of years as the players know that they\u2019re capable of winning tournaments during the regular season and can compete for the conference championship year in and year out.\u201d BIG WEST WOMEN’S GOLFER OF THE YEAR Alice Kim, UC Davis FIRST TEAM ALL-BIG WEST Simone Hoey, Long Beach State Alice Kim, UC Davis Hilary Packard, UC Irvine Demi Runas, UC Davis Amy Simanton, UC Davis Chelsea Stelzmiller, UC Davis SECOND TEAM ALL-BIG WEST Amelia Ek, UC Riverside Maddy Fletcher, Cal Poly Kimberly Johnson, UC Davis Lalita Patipaksiri, UC Irvine Noelle Zavaleta, Long Beach State HONORABLE MENTION ALL-BIG WEST Margo Dionisio, Cal State Northridge Lindsey McAtee, Long Beach State Ashlee Nagamine, Cal State Northridge Julia Puscheck, Cal Poly Monica Villarreal, Long Beach State <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s the most awards for the program since 2006; all honored players are underclassmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1349"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=1349"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
