WESTWORTH VILLAGE, Texas -- In an announcement made following Tuesday’s final round, LeTourneau University's Hannah Newell was named the 2026 SCAC Women’s Golf Elite 19 award winner.

Newell, a senior from Houston, Texas, currently holds a 4.00 GPA in Chemistry and earned Second Team All-SCAC honors after firing a three-day total of 200 to finish T9th in the 43-player field.

Newell is just the second LeTourneau University student-athlete to earn the prestigious Elite 19 honor, following men's cross country student-athlete David Dugan who claimed the honor in the fall. 

Established prior to the 2018-19 academic year and meant to recognize the best of the best within each of the league's 19 sponsored sports as it relates to both academic and athletic achievement, the SCAC Elite 19 is awarded to the student-athlete who has completed the equivalent of at least 60 credit hours at his or her current institution and has at least a cumulative 3.25 GPA. The student-athlete must also have earned All-SCAC First, Second or Third Team honors in his/her sport for that particular season.
