Mario Bravante May 7, 2021 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Three Hogs were Southeastern Conference postseason award honorees, announced today by the conference office, as Brooke Matthews, Cory Lopez and Kajal Mistry were all recognized by the league’s coaches. Matthews earned a spot on the SEC’s First Team; Lopez was named to the league’s All-Freshman Team; and Mistry was named to the conference’s Community Service Team. Matthews’ recognition comes after a remarkable season for the redshirt junior, as she was one of just eight First Teamers named by the league’s coaches. The Rogers, Ark., product becomes the first First-Teamer for Head Coach Shauna Taylor since the trio of Maria Fassi, Dylan Kim and Kaylee Benton were named to the first team back in 2019. The honor was well deserved, as Matthews finished her redshirt junior season with four top-10 finishes, two runner-up finishes, and a historic win at the inaugural Blessings Collegiate Invitational. If the season were over today for the Hogs, Matthews’ 72.22 stroke average during the 2020-21 season would represent the ninth-best average in program history. She has had other accolades outside of collegiate golf this year as well, as she made waves at the LPGA’s Northwest Arkansas Championship, finishing in the top-50 amongst a field of professionals, tallied a top-30 finish at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, while also receiving an invitation to represent Team USA in the Arnold Palmer Cup this summer. Her 15 par-or-better rounds and her four events under par also currently pace the Hogs.
