With three Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors, Baylor women’s golf ranks second among all BU sports, trailing only the baseball program’s four such honorees.

She finished tied for seventh on the Bears’ all-time list with six top-5 finishes and tied for 10th with 11 top-10 results.

In her final year of collegiate competition, Chapelet posted nine top-20 individual finishes, including winning medalist honors at the Cowgirl Classic. She helped the Bears earn their first No. 1 ranking in program history as they started the season with a Big 12-record five-consecutive tournament titles.

Chapelet also finished tied for second at the Kissing Tree Invitational, tied for third at the Trinity Forest Invitational, fifth at the Schooner Fall Classic, tied for ninth at the Big 12 Championship and 10th at the Lone Star Invitational, giving her six top-10 finishes out of 12 tournaments played.

She led the Bears in par-3 scoring average at 3.00, par-or-better percentage at 83.0 and total pars at 446, and she ranked second on the team in par-4 scoring at 4.09.

Over her two-year Baylor career, Chapelet recorded 27 of 60 rounds at par or better and counted 90.1 percent of her rounds toward the team score. She placed top-25 individual in 15 of 20 tournaments with the Bears. Chapelet was named honorable mention All-America in 2020 by both Golfweek and the WGCA.

Baylor finished the 2020-21 season ranked No. 9 nationally by Golfweek and No. 15 by Golfstat. The Bears finished 14th at the NCAA Championship, earning their fourth top-15 in six NCAA Championships since the Bears earned the program’s first top-15 national finish in 2015.
