STILLWATER – Oklahoma State All-Americans Isabella Fierro and Maja Stark were among eight Division I golfers nationwide to earn a spot on the CoSIDA Academic All-District At-Large First Team, which makes the Cowgirl duo eligible for Academic All-America consideration.
Fierro and Stark were among a school-record five Cowgirls to earn Women's Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar honors, and were essential in OSU's run to the NCAA Championship finals in May.

The Abbekas, Sweden native was a 2021 ANNIKA Award finalist and a 2021 WGCA first-team All-American. She set a program record with a stroke average of 70.48 (-1.42 to par), finished the year ranked No. 4 nationally by GolfStat and went 49-2 in head-to-head competition again top-100 players in the country.
The two-time event winner recorded more birdies (139) and rounds of par or better (22) than any player in school history, and her par-3 (2.99) and par-4 (3.99) scoring averages set new school records as well.
Fierro is studying Agricultural Leadership with a 3.83 GPA. The Merida, Mexico native was an honorable mention All-American as a freshman in 2020, and took her game to new heights as a sophomore. Her scoring average of 71.23 (-0.48 to par) is the third best mark in program history, just ahead of her freshman campaign of 71.76 (-0.24 to par), and her career scoring average is the best ever by a Cowgirl at 71.44 (-0.38 to par).
At her best in the year's biggest moments, Fierro carded a 7-under 65 in the second round of the Big 12 Championships, which broke the event's all-time scoring record. She finished the tournament in a tie for sixth to earn her first All-Big 12 Championship squad selection.
