TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil Women's Golf junior Olivia Mehaffey has been named to the 2018-19 WGCA All-American Second Team, as announced by the Women's Golf Coaches Association on Thursday morning.
For Mehaffey, it is the third consecutive season she has received All-American honors from the WGCA. This is the second straight year that she has taken home second team honors, in addition to earning honorable mention distinction after her freshman season. This is the 83rd time that a Sun Devil has made an All-American list.
Mehaffey becomes just the 11th three-time All-American in program history, joining an illustrious group of some of the top names in the sport. She will have a chance to join an even more exclusive club should she land on an All-American team next season, as it would make her just the third four-time All-American at Arizona State.

Mehaffey's junior season was worthy of this honor, as she was one of the top golfers in the country throughout the year. She is one of 12 individuals to be named to the Second Team. The Pac-12 Champion and Co-Medalist at the Norman Regional took home three individual titles this season, reaching as high as No. 7 in the Golfstat rankings. An Annika Award finalist, Mehaffey continues to collect honors as media and coaches around the country recognize what she has accomplished. An experienced competitor having already been a part of a National Title in 2017, she got to compete in her third consecutive NCAA Championship this past week.
