Campos, Fiorellini Named to Fall ANNIKA Award Watch List

September 04, 2024 | Women's Golf

COLUMBUS, Ga. – Senior Zoe Antoinette Campos and freshman Francesca Fiorellini were two of 25 student-athletes across the country to be named to the 2024-25 Fall ANNIKA Award Watch List, it was announced Wednesday morning.
 
Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award is annually given to the top female U.S. collegiate golfer; the winner voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media. UCLA's Alison Lee was the first to take home the award in 2014 and Bronte Law earned the honor the next season in 2015.
 
Named for Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Foundation to acknowledge the top female golfer and to match the Haskins Award, which acknowledges the top male Division I collegiate golfer.
 
This marks the eighth straight year UCLA has had a golfer named to the ANNIKA Award Fall or Preseason Watch List and the fourth time the program has had multiple student-athletes named to the Watch List.
 
Campos was consensus First Team All-American, an ANNIKA Award Top 10 Finalist and an All-Pac-12 First Team selection for a second straight season in 2023-24. The Valencia, Calif. native led UCLA with four wins, a 70.7 scoring average and nine top-10 finishes and was the only Bruin to have all rounds count towards the team score last season. She enters her final season in Westwood as the fourth-ranked women's amateur on the globe, according to the World Amateur Golf Rankings. Campos represented the United States in two major international competitions this past summer, helping Team USA to a second straight Arnold Palmer Cup win in Ireland in July and a second-place finish to Great Britain & International at the Curtis Cup in early September.
 
Fiorellini arrives to campus this fall as the top-ranked Italian, fourth-ranked European and 19th-ranked amateur on the globe, according to the World Amateur Gold Rankings as of Sept. 3, 2024. Her amateur career prior to UCLA was headlined by three major team victories in 2023 at the Junior Ryder Cup, Junior Solheim Cup and Patsy Hankins Trophy.
 
Campos, Fiorellini and the rest of the Bruins' squad begin the 2024-25 season in five days at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate in Lake Elmo, Minn. from Sept. 9-11.
