North Dakota State sophomore golfer Amy Anderson was named to the Capital One Academic All-America® University Division women's at-large second team by a vote of the College Sports Information Directors of America on June 9.

Anderson, from Oxbow, N.D., has a 4.0 cumulative grade-point average in accounting. She is the second College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-American® in NDSU women's golf history behind Briena Kappes, a third-team pick in 2006. The women's at-large program includes bowling, crew, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis and water polo.

Anderson, a second team All-America selection by the National Golf Coaches Association, tied for 12th at the NCAA national championship. She led the Summit League with a school-record 73.5 scoring average through 31 rounds. Her season-low was a school-record 68 in the final round to win the Jackrabbit Invitational in March.

Anderson was a top 10 finisher in eight of 11 events this season. She won five tournaments including the Summit League championship, and earned her second straight at-large individual berth in the NCAA tournament.

Anderson was the NCAA Elite 88 award winner at the Division I women's golf championship, which goes to the student-athlete with the highest grade-point average at the national championship finals site.
