CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. -- Creighton University's Katie Allen and Margaret Hickey are among 1,097Â collegiate golfers recognized by the Women's Golf Coaches Association as All-American Scholars.
The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50.

Hickey was honored for the second consecutive year, while it was the first such honor for Allen. Both women owned a spot on the Creighton Dean's List in both semesters during the recently completed 2018-19 academic year.
A Phoenix, Ariz., native, Allen led Creighton with a 77.7 scoring average during her freshman season. That ranks as the best single-season scoring average by a Bluejay in the last 17 years.
Hickey is a sophomore from Glencoe, Ill., who ranked fourth on the club with a 80.7 scoring average in 2018-19.
Creighton's two honorees were tied for the fourth-most in the BIG EAST.
The Bluejays, who placed fifth at the BIG EAST Championships in April, are coached by Debbie Conry. The women in the program own a cumulative GPA of 3.558.
