HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Southern Miss redshirt freshman women's golfer Lauren Judson was named the 2011 National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) Kim Moore Spirit Award.
Judson was presented with the award at the NGCA Awards Banquet this past Saturday.
The Roswell, Ga. native participated in six events this year despite dealing with the loss of her parents in a plane crash after watching her in the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate in October.
She averaged 80.6 strokes over 14 rounds. Her best finish came at the Lady Eagle Invitational, where she tied for 24th-place.
This award is dedicated to Kim Moore, who played golf for the University of Indianapolis (1999-2003). Kim was an inspiration to all as she persevered through many physical challenges while playing collegiate golf. Her positive outlook and dedication toward the game was only out done by her sense of humor and passion for the game.
The purpose of the award is to recognize and honor a student-athlete or coach who exemplifies a great spirit toward the game of golf, a positive attitude on and off the golf course, a role model for her team and mental toughness in facing challenges.
