NSIC Elite 18 Award

MORTON, Minn.  –  Monica Rohe of Upper Iowa University was named the 2017 NSIC Elite 18 Award winner for women’s golf.  Rohe was presented the award during the post-championship awards ceremony of the NSIC Women’s Golf Championship, which was held the past three days at Dacotah Ridge Golf Course in Morton, Minnesota. Rohe is the first student-athlete from Upper Iowa to earn the NSIC Elite 18 Award.
 
Rohe is a senior majoring in accounting and holds a 3.99 grade point average.  The Onalaska, Wisconsin, native holds an 86.2 stroke average this season over 18 rounds. Her low round this season was 80 during the Golden Bear Classic last September. Rohe finished 35th at the NSIC Championship and helped the Peacocks to an eighth place team finish. 

As part of the NSIC 25th Anniversary celebration, the NSIC Elite 18 Award was instituted to recognize the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the NSIC Championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. The NSIC Elite 18 award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NSIC’s 18 Championships.
