Maddie Dodge

Eastern Washington golf

Dodge, a sophomore who played at Post Falls High and was home-schooled, was named to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team for the 2014 spring quarter. Dodge was also selected a women's collegiate All-American Scholar by the Women's Golf Coaches Association. To qualify, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.50 and must have appeared in 50 percent of their team's competitive rounds. "(Eastern Washington teammate) Taylor (Crandall, who was also selected for the award) and Maddie are the definition of student-athlete," Eastern Washington golf coach Brenda Howe said. "Not only do they excel on the golf course, but they also go above and beyond in the classroom. As a coach, it's an honor to work with players that maintain an amazing balance and competitiveness, a high level of academic success, and a high moral character."
