Nelson, Narvaez Named to All-GAC Teams

TULSA, Okla. – Two Henderson State golfers were named to the GAC All-Women's Golf teams, as announced Monday at the conference championships in Tulsa. Senior Lily Nelson was named to the first team, while senior Paulina Narvaez was named to the second team.

Nelson, a New Castle, Colorado native, earns her third first-team honor after another unanimous selection in 2026 and selection as a true freshman in 2023. Nelson took home two individual titles this season, one in the Central Region Preview during the fall season and one in last week's Desert Invitational. She was named GAC Golfer of the Week after both championships.

Narvaez, a Guanajuato, Mexico native, earned her first GAC accolade after a season marked with two individual championships. She took first place in the Battle for the Belt in Hot Springs in the fall season and picked up a win in last month's Arkansas Intercollegiate in El Dorado. The win at Mystic Creek garnered Narvaez her lone GAC Golfer of the Week Honor.

Additionally, HSU was well represented in the academic awards. Isabella Ferreira was named an Elite Scholar Athlete. This award is only given to student athletes with the highest GPA with a minimum of 70 credit hours. Nelson and Hailey Coleman were named to the GAC Academic Honor Roll. All athletes with at least a 3.5 GPA and a minimum of one year of full-time college residency are eligible for this honor.
