WACO, Texas (April 24, 2015) – Senior Anna Arrese Cortadellas and junior Audrey Meisch represented Oklahoma Christian on the All-Heartland Conference women's golf teams, released Friday.

Arrese Cortadellas, from Barcelona, Spain, was a first-team selection, while Meisch, from Wichita, Kan., made the second-team list.

Arrese Cortadellas earned all-conference honors for the fourth time in her career and was a first-team selection for the third time, following similar honors in 2012 (from the Sooner Athletic Conference) and 2013. She was a second-team All-Heartland selection last season.

In most NCAA Division II conferences, her resume would merit serious consideration for player-of-the-year honors. Arrese Cortadellas has led the Heartland in stroke average for each of the past three seasons and topped Division II in that important category for a time earlier this month. She currently ranks second nationally in stroke average at 73.58 – more than a full stroke better per round than any other Heartland player.

She finished in the top 10 in all 11 of OC's tournaments during the 2014-15 campaign, winning three, finishing as runner-up in three others and finishing in the top five in three more beyond that (nine overall). During one stretch, she finished in the top two individually in six straight events. She won three events during the spring season – the Las Vegas Desert Classic, the Diffee-Ford Lincoln Invitational in Edmond and the Oklahoma Baptist Spring Invitational in Oklahoma City.

During her career, she finished in the top 10 in all but one of 36 tournaments in which she played and she won eight of them, a strong 22.2-percent winning clip. Arrese Cortadellas already is a four-time All-America pick (NAIA in 2012, National Christian College Athletic Association in 2012, 2013 and 2014).

Meisch also had a strong resume, finishing in the top 10 during OC's final 10 tournaments in 2014-15. Five of those were top-five finishes, including her second career win, which came in the Augustana Spring Fling at The Classic Club in Palm Desert, Calif., in March.

Meisch, who ranked third in the Heartland and 13th in Division II in stroke average at 75.00, earned NCCAA All-America honors last October.

She finished third at the Heartland Conference Championship earlier this week at Slick Rock Golf Course in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, helping OC post an unofficial team score of 589. That would have been good enough to win the conference title had the Heartland not chosen to not count the scores of its three members who are still in the NCAA Division II membership process (including OC).
