DALLAS – This season, the NM State women's golf program has not only been exceptional on the course, but also in the classroom. Thursday, Conference USA announced that both Angela Garvin and Emma Bunch were named to the league's all-academic teams which honors five first team selections and five second team selections for their academic and athletic accomplishments this season.
 
For consideration for CUSA's first All-Academic team, nominees must have a 3.9 cumulative grade point average, have to have participated in 75% of the team's scheduled tournaments this season and should be at least a sophomore class standing.
 
Garvin, a graduate student from Feeding Hills, Mass., is currently maintaining a 4.0 grade-point averaged in her pursuit of a Master of Business Administration. This season, Garvin has been a consistent member of the Aggie lineup and her season was highlighted by a CUSA Golfer of the Week selection after turning in a third-place finish at the Golf Iconic Classic in early October. In total, she has recorded four top-20 finishes, including most recently at the GCU Invitational when she finished two-under-par to land in a tie for 13^th place while helping the Aggies pick up their first team win since 2022.
 
Bunch, a sophomore from Lynge, Denmark, currently has a 4.0 GPA in Biochemistry and adds to her lengthy list of CUSA awards this season. Thus far, Bunch has been named CUSA Golfer of the Week five times and is currently amid a stretch of four consecutive individual titles – a feat that has never been accomplished by any Aggie golfer in program history. Bunch is currently ranked No. 46 in the individual collegiate rankings presented by Scoreboard and has turned in 19 consecutive rounds of par or better. Most recently, Bunch recorded a three-round score of 207 (-9) at the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic to earn the solo title. This season, Bunch has six total top-three finishes and is maintaining a 70.3 scoring average across 27 rounds.
 
Garvin, Bunch and the rest of the Aggies will next compete in Magnolia, Texas, where they will take on the field at the 2024 Conference USA Championships at High Meadow Golf Club on April 15-17.
