THE NANCY LOPEZ AWARD
LORENA OCHOA

In 2003, NCAA Player of the Year Lorena Ochoa was selected as the fourth recipient of the Nancy Lopez Award. Despite competing on the collegiate level at The University of Arizona for only two years, Ochoa's accomplishments place her atop the list of all-time elite college players. In 20 starts, she won 12 times, finished runner-up six times and never placed out of the top-10. In the 2001-2002 season, she won the first seven events of the year and finished with eight wins in 10 events, finishing runner-up in the other two. Easily earning NCAA Player of the Year honors in 2001 and 2002, Lorena set the single-season NCAA scoring average record as a freshman at 71.33.
