(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)Missouri Southern head golf coach Mike Wheeler has announced three additions to the women's golf team for the 2021-22 season.
Among the signings, the group includes one international student-athlete, as well as one from Illinois and another local signee.
Lily Allman is a native of Anderson, Missouri and prepped at McDonald County High School for coach Darryl Harbaugh. Allman capped her career with a third-place finish at this year's Missouri Class 3 State Tournament, held in Joplin at Twin Hills Golf and Country Club.
Allman was an All-State selection as a senior, as well as being named a three-time All-District selection and a three-time All-Conference pick. She was a three-time qualifier for the state tournament. She was a two-time District Champion and won four of the eight tournaments she played in as a senior.
The daughter of Mark and Julie Allman, Lily plans to major in education at Southern.
Faith Davis is a native of Sherman, Illinois where she prepped at Williamsville High School for coaches Darcy O'Connor and Mike Brennan. A four-year first-bagger for her high school team, Davis was a three-time State qualifier and had three top-25 finishes at the State Tournament.
She was a Central Region Best of Preps Small School Golfer of the Year, a four-year captain and led WHS to its first State Championship appearance in ten years in 2018.
The daughter of Jeff and Theresa Davis, Faith plans to major in psychology at Southern.
Aida Nunez Garcia comes to Southern from Asturias, Spain where she prepped at IES Universidad Laboral Gijon. A highly-touted amateur player in Spain, Garcia was a member of the Asturias Golf Federation Team in the Championship of Spain 18 and under group.
Garcia had multiple top-three finishes in 2018 and 2019, including four wins.
The daughter of Ignacio Nunez Rodriguez and Patricia Garcia Zapico, Aida plans to major in industrial engineering technology at Southern.
"First of all, I give Coach Derek Skaggs a great deal of credit for this recruiting class, Wheeler said. "Recruiting ladies golf is highly-competitive and requires a huge time investment. I thank him for his diligence in recruiting these three fine incomers.
"Aida Nunez is from north of Spain. She has a powerful and fluid swing that many would like to have. She scores in the mid 70's and I am looking forward to her arrival in the fall.
"Faith Davis is another powerful driver of the golf ball. Her scores are in the mid 70's, as well, and she will definitely help us to the next level to achieve our conference goals.
"Lily Allman has to be one of the hardest-working high school golfers I have seen. She was good when we she came for a try out in spring of 2020, but over the summer and in high school play this fall, she has become a superior player. Adding these three to the current roster, which is really good, makes us all want to get back on the golf course."
