IRVING, Texas (April 26, 2017) -- FIU senior Camila Serrano (Bogota, Colombia) has been named Conference USA Golfer of the Year and junior Katerina Krasova (Ricany, Czech Republic) earned Most Improved Golfer as the All-Conference USA awards were announced by the league office Wednesday. The selections are made by the 11 head coaches in the league. Serrano was the highest-ranked player in the league by Golfstat after the Conference Championships, and the only one ranked among the Top 200 players in Division I, finishing the season ranked 81st in women's golf. She was 44-1 versus the top players in the league, losing just once to teammate Krasova, in the regular season. Serrano posted four finishes in the top five at 10 tournaments for the season, three more times in the top 10, including a tie for ninth at the C-USA Championships last week. Her average finish was in the 89th percentile, finishing with a record of 658-85 and a stroke average of 72.57, which was the best of her career by more than a stroke from her freshman year and three strokes better than her sophomore and junior campaigns. Serrano's senior season lowered her career average by more than half a stroke over 101 tournament rounds. She was the top vote getter for all-conference and earned First-Team All-C-USA honors for her outstanding season. She is a four-time all-conference selection and the third-straight Golfer of the Year from FIU. Serrano took home four Golfer of the Week honors this season and was the 2014 C-USA Women's Golf Freshman of the Year."Cami had a very solid year," said Vogel. "She finished in the top 10 in seven of our 10 events. It's a testament to her good play in the tournament and she kept good focus and good game plan each time out. She was pretty impressive."
