CLEVELAND, OH – The North Coast Athletic Conference is celebrating its 40th playing season by selecting All-Decade teams in all 23 championship sports. Student-athletes that competed in the NCAC between the 2013-14 and the 2022-23 seasons who earned Player of the Year honors, or who earned a minimum of three all-NCAC first-team nods during this time were named to the team.
In women’s golf, eight student-athletes have been recognized for their outstanding accomplishments on the course.
Three NCAC teams earned league trophies in women’s golf over the last 10 years. DePauw began the decade earning its third-consecutive title (2012-14); however, the next season, Wittenberg went on to win its first women’s golf conference title (2015). The Tigers of Ohio proceeded to win two more titles (2016-17), bringing the program’s total to three. DePauw was named conference champions once again as the Tigers of Indiana won the 2018 and 2019 NCAC Championships, extending its total to a league-leading five trophies. After no champion was crowned in 2020 due to COVID-19, Denison has sat atop the league for three-consecutive seasons (2021-23).
Founded in 1983, the North Coast Athletic Conference currently consists of nine academically selective NCAA Division III colleges and universities - Denison University, DePauw University, Hiram College, Kenyon College, Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wabash College, Wittenberg University, and the College of Wooster along with affiliate members Allegheny College, Earlham College, Transylvania University and Washington & Jefferson College (field hockey). The NCAC sponsors 23 championship sports, 11 for men and 12 for women.
