Stephanie Meadow Awarded Fourth Straight All-American Honors, Talley Honorable Mention

Stephanie Meadow was able to add one more first in the history of the Alabama women’s golf program when the Women’s Golf Coaches Association and Golfweek selected her as a 2014 first team All-American, making her the Crimson Tide’s first four-time selection to the first team.

Meadow, from Jordanstown, Northern Ireland, was a first team All-American by Golfweek in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 while the Women’s Golf Coaches Association tabbed her first team three times (2011, 2013 and 2014) with a second-team honor 2012.

Meadow leaves Alabama as the career record holder in most every category. She finished with a 71.89 scoring average, just 0.17 strokes above par per round over her 132 career rounds. Meadow won nine career tournaments – three times more than anyone else in school history – while carding school records with 73 career rounds of par or better, 125 counting rounds (95.5 percent) and 404 birdies.

Talley, a second-team selection a year ago, garnered honorable mention honors from both the WGCA and Golfweek as a sophomore in 2013-14. She averaged 73.29 strokes per round this year while recording three top-10 finishes and 11 rounds of par or better.

Alabama has now won 19 Golfweek All-America honors by seven different players in Potter's nine-year tenure with the Crimson Tide. That list includes seven first-team selections, one second-team pick, five third-team choices and six honorable mentions.
