CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – For the second consecutive season, Virginia junior golfer Amanda Sambach (Pinehurst, N.C.) was named a second-team All-American by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (May 24).

This season Sambach led the Cavaliers with a 71.45 stroke average. She was ranked No. 11 in the final NCAA individual standings. She had seven top-10 performances in 11 total tournaments. She won Toledo’s Glass City Invitational for the fourth victory in her career. She led UVA in scoring at the ACC Championships, NCAA Regional and NCAA Championships in addition to five regular-season tournaments. She was named an All-ACC performer for the third consecutive season.

Sambach was one of 10 finalists for the 2024 ANNIKA Award presented to the nation’s top female collegiate golfer. It was the second consecutive season she was a finalist for the award.
