<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;font-weight:normal">The duo joined Hayley Davis and Dylan Kim, who made the WGCA All-America Second Team together in 2015. The Bears were one of just five
teams in the country to have multiple representatives on the first or second team, and the only team in the Big 12 with multiple selections on any of the three teams. BU now has nine All-Americans in program history, all of which have come under head coach
Jay Goble.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;font-weight:normal">A native of Whitley Bay, England, Belsham enjoyed the best season of her career, finishing second on the team with a stroke average of
71.71, to beat the previous single-season record set by Gurleen Kaur (71.97) in 2020-21. She now ranks second in program history in career stroke average (72.46), just .18 strokes behind Elodie Chapelet (72.28). The junior also ranks in the top-5 in career
top-10 finishes (15) and sixth in career-top-5 finishes (7). In a year where Belsham captured her career-first win at the Collegiate Invitational, she also tied for the team lead in par-3 scoring average (3.09), while leading the team in par or better percentage
(82.9%) and total pars (372).<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;font-weight:normal">Hasegawa re-wrote the record books in her first season with the Bears. The sophomore transfer from East Tennessee State set the new single-season
stroke average record (71.04) and became the first player in program history to record five-straight postseason rounds at par or better. Hasegawa captured her career-first win at the PING/ASU Invitational in March and finished with a team leading 18 rounds
at par or better. Additionally, the Gifu, Japan native led the team in par-4 scoring average (4.03) and tied Belsham in par-3 scoring average title (3.09).
