Rattana, Tomassoni earn SAC Women's golf honors

ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum College women's golfers Ciara Rattana and Katie Tomassoni have been named to the 2016 All-South Atlantic Conference Team announced league officials Friday.

Rattana was named to the All-SAC first team, while Tomassoni garnered honorable mention recognition.

Rattana, a sophomore from Chicago, Illinois, leads the Pioneers in scoring with her 78.58 stroke average. She has recorded six top-20 finishes in her eight events, including four times in the top-10 and twice in the top-five. The 2015 SAC Freshman of the Year finished runner-up at the Pioneer Classic, which included a season-low round 73 on the final day of the tournament. She tied third place at the Tusculum Fall Classic and posted a pair seventh place finishes at the Patsy Rendleman Invitational and this week's Agnes McAmis Memorial.

In her two seasons at Tusculum, Rattana has a 78.55 career scoring average, which is currently the second-lowest in program history.

Tomassoni, a freshman from Mason, Ohio, is second on the team with her 79.94 scoring average which is the ninth lowest by a Pioneer and the third-best by a TC rookie. The Mason High School graduate has logged four top-10 finishes, including three times in the top-five. She finished third in each of her first two collegiate events at the Tusculum Fall Classic and the Patsy Rendleman Invitational. Tomassoni posted a 27-hole total 76-37=113 at the weather-abbreviated TC Fall Classic. She followed with back-to-back rounds of 74 to shot 148 at the Rendleman Invitational. She also finished third at the Pioneer Classic with 152, including an opening round 73 which was a season-low. She posted a seventh place showing at the McAmis Memorial earlier this week.

The Pioneers will compete at the South Atlantic Conference Championship in Monroe, North Carolina, starting with Sunday's opening round at the Monroe Country Club.
