Women's Golf

JOLIET, Ill. -- University of St. Francis women’s golf coach Tom O’Connor has announced the signings of three area high school seniors to letter-of-intent to attend USF and join the women’s golf program.

Liz Eldridge, Vicky McGowan and Michala Mika have signed the letters-of-intent and will enroll at USF in the fall of 2007.

Eldridge hails from Glen Ellyn, Ill., and will graduate this coming spring from St. Francis H.S. in Wheaton. She is a three-time letterwinner in golf and a two-time monogram winner in track and field. She earned academic all-Suburban Catholic Conference honors as a sophomore and junior and will likely get the same recognition again as a senior.

McGowan, from nearby Mokena, Ill., is a senior at Lincoln-Way East H.S. and helped lead her team to a 9-1 record this past season. She lettered twice in golf and soccer for the Griffins, earning all-SouthWest Suburban Conference honors in golf as a junior. She was also named Most Valuable Player of her sophomore golf team.

Mika lives in Palos Hills, Ill., and is a senior at Queen of Peace H.S. in Burbank. She is a three-time letterwinner, captain and Most Valuable Player in golf and also lettered in basketball for the Pride. She earned all-Girls Catholic Athletic Conference honors in golf as a junior after advancing to the regionals that season.
