Three English girls have figured prominently in the 2008 All-Ohio Valley Conference women's college golf awards which were made at the OVC Championships at Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
They are Laura Culter from Essex and Portia Abbot from Wiltshire, both students at Jacksonville State University, Alabama, and Andrea Downer from Surrey, a student at Murray State University in western Kentucky.
Portia Abbot was selected for the All-OVC First Team. It is not a team that ever plays any matches but it is the American way of honouring the coaches' view of the best players from all the women's golf teams in the Conference.
Sophomore Andrea Downer was named to the All-OVC Second Team. It is the second straight season she has gained honours. She won the Sea Trail Intercollegiate tournament last September.
Laura Cutler shared OVC Freshman of the Year honours.
