DALTON, GA. – Little Rock women's golf continues to set the standard in the Ohio Valley Conference, placing four student-athletes on the All-OVC teams, highlighted by three First Team selections, the league announced Saturday.
The Trojans' quartet of honorees—junior
Eleonore Aernouts and sophomores
Iara Martin and
Elvira Flodstrom on the All-OVC First Team, along with sophomore Cloé Poizac on the Second Team and All-Newcomer Team - underscore the program's depth and consistency heading into the conference championship.
Little Rock was one of just two programs to place three players on the All-OVC First Team, reinforcing its position as a conference contender.
"This is a reflection of the work this group has put in all year," head coach
Jenna Birch said. "They've competed at a really high level against strong fields, and it's great to see them recognized by the conference coaches. I'm really proud of how they've represented Little Rock."
Aernouts, a junior from Elancourt, France, has been the Trojans' steady leader all season, leading the OVC in stroke average and posting multiple top finishes.
"I'm really honored," Aernouts said. "It means a lot to be recognized by the coaches, especially with how strong our conference is. But for me, it's about what we can do as a team this week. That's the focus."
Martin, a sophomore from Mar del Plata, Argentina, earned her first All-OVC First Team selection after a consistent season in the Trojans' lineup.
"It's special to be recognized, but it comes from what we do as a team every day," Martin said. "We push each other in practice, and that's why we've had success. I'm excited for what's ahead."
Flodstrom, a sophomore from Linköping, Sweden, also earned First Team honors as one of the league's top performers.
"I'm really grateful," Flodstrom said. "This team has helped me so much, and we've built a lot of confidence together. We're all focused on finishing strong at the championship."
Poizac rounded out Little Rock's honorees, earning Second Team All-OVC recognition and a spot on the All-Newcomer Team after making an immediate impact.
"It's been a great experience so far," Poizac said. "I've learned a lot from my teammates and coaches. This recognition is nice, but we're focused on competing this weekend and trying to win."
"Our depth has been a strength all year," Birch said. "We've had different players step up at different times, and that's what you need this time of year. We're confident in our group."
Little Rock now turns its full attention to the 2026 OVC Women's Golf Championship, set for Sunday through Tuesday at Dalton Golf and Country Club in Dalton, Georgia.
