Locally: Gonzaga trio named preseason All-WCC in women’s golf

Gonzaga University women’s golfers Quynn Duong, Cassie Kim and Grace Lee were selected preseason All-West Coast Conference for the upcoming spring season, the league announced last week.

The Bulldogs were third in the preseason conference poll and received one first-place vote. Pepperdine finished first in the poll and BYU was second. The coaches’ poll and preseason All-WCC team were selected by a vote of the conference’s five head coaches. Coaches cannot vote for their own teams and student-athletes.

Duong was named All-WCC in 2019, 2021 and 22, while Kim earned honors in 2021. It’s the fourth time Duong has been tabbed preseason All-Conference, and Kim received the recognition last season. Duong was the 2018-19 WCC Freshman of the Year.

Through the four tournaments in the fall, Kim posted Gonzaga’s low scoring average at 71.58. Lee was close behind at 72.92, and Duong was at 73.50.
