This marks the first team title for the Lady Raiders since winning the Mountain View Collegiate in March, and is the eighth tournament win in the last four seasons under head coach JoJo Robertson.

Kaufman is the only two-time All-American selection in golf in school history, as she was named to the honorable mention team one year ago by the WGCA and Golfweek Magazine.

“Jerry Rawls had a vision for this course to be one of the premiere collegiate golf courses in the country and ultimately host NCAA championship events, and today his vision has come to fruition,” said Tech men's golf coach Greg Sands.

Kaufman had previously finished as the tournament runner-up three times in her career. Thunderstorms from Hurricane Sandy caused the cancellation of the last rounds of the tournament.

This monthly award is the first for Kaufman, and the first for a Lady Raider since Gabby Dominguez earned the honor in February and March of 2011.
