FDU Hall of Fame
On the links, Michele Holzwarth makes history as the first women's golfer inducted to the Knights Hall of Fame. Still standing in the FDU record book over a decade after graduation, Holzwarth, from Berlin, Germany, boasts the Knights' lowest-ever round, shooting a 68 in the first round of the Yale Women's Fall Intercollegiate in 2009. A member of the 2007-08 team which went on to capture the first conference title in program history in just their second season as a program, Holzwarth would go on to win the NEC individual title in 2009. She would receive more hardware as the NEC's Rookie and Golfer of the Year in 2008, earning the latter two more times (2010 and 2011). She is still ranked in the top-10 performances over 36 holes at the NEC Championships with a 146 (fifth) and sits in the top-10 over 54 holes, carding a 223 in 2009. A four-time All-NEC Selection, Holzwarth was named to the First Team All-NEC three times. In addition to the first-place finish in 2009, she would log two top-five finishes at the league championship. Participating in 39 tournaments over four seasons, Holzwarth tallied 11 victories with a career average of 78.25 in 83 rounds, good for fourth all-time. She is the highest-ranked FDU golfer in program history in the national rankings according to Golfstat.
