Bio
At Creighton:
2022-23 (Sophomore)
• Became first back-to-back BIG EAST Women’s Golf Championship medalist in league history with her two-shot victory on April 19th in Hardeeville, S.C., at Riverton Pointe Golf and Country Club.
• Nation’s only Division I female to be a back-to-back conference champion in 2022 and 2023.
• Her second round 67 at the BIG EAST Championship on April 18th was a Creighton record (breaking the mark of a 68 done in 2016 by Sarah Eversman) and tied a BIG EAST Championship record that dated to 2009 (by Louisville’s Laura Anderson). She had seven birdies and an eagle in that round and led the tournament in par 3 scoring (-2) as well as par 5 scoring (-5).
• The week before the BIG EAST Championship, she also won the Stampede at the Creek in a northwest suburb of Omaha, topping a field of 60 golfers.
• Returned to NCAA Regionals and finished 48th after rounds of 81-79-71 on the Par-72 course, including six birdies in the final round.
• In 11 events this year, owns school-records with six top-five finishes, six top-10 finishes and nine top-20 finishes.
• Has four rounds of par or better this year, and the eight in her career are a program record.
• Owns the Creighton career scoring average (75.86) record.
• Actually ranks second on the team with a 75.39 scoring average in 36 rounds, just behind sophomore teammate Eleanor Hudepohl’s 75.17 average in 30 rounds.
• Creighton has eight individual titles in the last 20 years, and Lemke’s got four of those.
• Threw out the first pitch prior to Creighton Baseball’s game vs. St. John’s on April 21st.
• Earned College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honors.
2021-22 (Freshman):
• Became first Regional qualifier in program history when she earned the auto-bid with her victory at BIG EAST Championship on April 23.
• Became Creighton’s first BIG EAST individual champion in any sport on April 23rd when she won a 3-way playoff against Xavier’s Abby Kiefer and Emma McMyler with a birdie on the first playoff hole by rolling in a 20-foot birdie putt.
• Her birdie was just the sixth (in 93 tries) over three days of the BIG EAST Championship on the 18th hole.
• Shot rounds of 69, 71 and 73 for a 213 total at the BIG EAST Championship, the best 54-hole score for Creighton since at least 2003-04, and the best by any player at a BIG EAST Championship since 2013 (outside of Lemke and the Xavier duo she tied with).
• Owned a 76.36 scoring average and four rounds under par, both of which were the best marks in program history since at least 2003-04 (before breaking those marks in 2022-23).
• Owned four top-five finishes and five top-10 finishes in 11 events.
• Also won the Creighton Classic (Oct. 12) and finished as runner-up on April 12th at Stampede at the Creek.
• Upon her return after winning the BIG EAST Championship, threw out the first pitch at Creighton Baseball’s game vs. Seton Hall on April 24.
