GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference has announced the 2024 women's golf postseason award winners, following voting by the league's head coaches and sports information directors. 

Southwestern University's Sydney Jackson, a first-year from The Woodlands, Texas, has been named Freshman of the Year following her performance in the 2024 season. Jackson was the top rookie finisher at the 2024 SCAC Championships back in April, earning Second Team All-SCAC honors after posting a three-day total of 239 to claim seventh overall in the field. She finished tied for second in the SCAC Championship field with 34 pars, and her 4.50 par-4 scoring average was tied for fifth. She closed out her collegiate debut season, ranked 191st nationally and 58th in the region after a pair of top-10 finishes in eight events and an adjusted scoring average of 80.1.

Jackson is the second consecutive and third overall Southwestern women's golfer to earn SCAC Freshman of the Year honors. Her teammate Isabella Valenzuela secured the honor a year ago, while the Pirates' Leilani McDaniel earned the accolade following the 2016-17 season.
