LITTLE ROCK – Senior golfer
Sabrina Bonanno has been named a second team All-Sun Belt Conference selection, announced today by the league office. It is the third all-conference honor of Bonanno's Trojan career, capping her stellar career in Little Rock.
Bonanno lead the Trojans in 2017-18, posting a 75.03 scoring average and playing all 32 rounds for Little Rock, leading the team with three rounds of par-or-better. The Norridge, Illinois native finished among the individual top-20 in nine of the 11 events on the year, finishing among the top-10 on five different occasions, highlighted by tying for fifth at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational.
Bonanno ends her Little Rock career making quite a mark on the Trojan record book, ranking third all-time in career scoring average (75.76) as well as career rounds played (120). She ranks second all-time in career birdies (250) and is tied for first in career eagles (five), finishing among the individual top-20 in 30 of her 41 events played.
The 2015 Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year, Bonanno notched first team All-Sun Belt honors in 2015, followed by second team accolades in 2016. She becomes the fourth Trojan to earn at least three all-conference honors in her career, joining Gisselle Wusyk (1992-96), Maria Jose Hurtado (1999-03) and Sara Wikstrom (2005-09).
She paced a Little Rock team that posted seven top-10 team finishes in 2017-18, including three-straight top-five finishes during the spring season. The Trojans registered three sub-300 rounds on the year, totaling nine individual rounds of par-or-better.
