DALLAS (SMU/Golfweek) – SMU women's golfers Lindsey McCurdy and Kenzie Wright were named to the Golfweek Midseason All-American Athletic Conference Team for their performances during the fall portion of the 2016-17 season, the organization announced Tuesday.

McCurdy posted a pair of top-five finishes in 2016, earning runner-up honors at the Mustangs' weather-shortened Trinity Forest Invitational Nov. 7. To open the season, the senior tied for fifth in an 81-player field at the Mercedes-Benz Intercollegiate hosted by Tennessee Sept. 12 & 13.

In 13 rounds this season, McCurdy has posted rounds of par or better six times, which ties for a team-best. She also leads the team with a 71.62 scoring average, posting a season-low round of 68 in her first round of the season.

Wright, who is in her first season with the Mustangs, is second on the team with a 72.54 scoring average and shares the team lead for rounds of par or better (6) with McCurdy. She leads the team with three of 13 rounds in the 60s including a team-low 66 this season, posted at the Mason Rudolph Championship.

Overall, the freshman has a pair of top-10 finishes, which includes a fourth-place finish at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational Oct. 17 & 18.

The Mustangs open spring play at the UCF Challenge in Orlando, Florida, Feb. 5-7. Four more events highlight the second half of the schedule before the American Athletic Conference Championship April 16-18 in Palm Coast, Florida.
