U.S. SENIOR AMATEUR

MARION, Mass. — Rusty Strawn, who was among those who couldn't catch Doug Hanzel in June at Willow Creek's National Senior Amateur Hall of Tournament, defeated Hanzell for a much bigger prize, the U.S. Senior Amateur championship, on Thursday.

Strawn dominated from the start, winning five of the first six holes in taking control. Hanzel, who was trying to win the title for the second time, won three holes on the back nine but that only put him three holes down.

Strawn reached the championship match by defeating former U.S. Senior Am and Senior Amateur Hall of Fame champ Bob Royak 6-and-5 in the semifinals.

BIG SOUTH HONORS HORMES

CHARLOTTE — High Point women's lacrosse player Abby Hormes has been voted the Big South Conference Wanda Watkins Female Athlete of the Year for the 2021-22 season, the conference has announced. The candidates for the annual award consist of the Players of the Year from each sport, and must be deemed eligible for the honor by their respective school. Hormes is High Point's second consecutive winner and the first lacrosse player to be honored.

During the 2022 season, Hormes scored an NCAA single-season record 103 goals in her final year with HPU, which surpassed two-time Tewaaraton Award Winner Charlotte North from Boston College, who scored 102 in 2021. Hormes earned honorable mention All-American honors from both Inside Lacrosse and USA Lacrosse Magazine, and competed in the 2022 IWLCA Senior All Star Game. Hormes is the first three-time Big South Offensive Player of the Year honoree since the league began sponsoring women's lacrosse in 2013. She finished the 2022 campaign as the national leader in goals scored, goals per game (5.42), points (124), and points per game (6.53) — all of which set Big South single-season records.
