TWO AREA
STANDOUTS SIGN WITH WAYNE STATE WOMEN'S GOLF PROGRAM
April 11------Ali Fuchtman
of Norfolk and Heather McCabe of Plainview have signed national
letters of intent to attend Wayne State College and play golf
for the Wildcats next fall.
Fuchtman is a transfer from Briar Cliff University who was
a standout golfer at Norfolk Catholic High School and will
have three years of eligibility with the Wildcats. Fuchtman
placed second in Class C in 2005 with a 168 (82-86) to help
Norfolk Catholic win the Class C State Girls Golf Championship.
She was named team MVP as a senior and most dedicated player
as a sophomore and junior at Norfolk Catholic and helped the
Lady Knights to a runner up finish at state as a junior. Fuchtman
will join high school teammate Hayley Pile on the Wildcat
women’s golf roster.
“Ali is going to be a great player for Wayne State,”
commented PGA Golf Professional Troy Harder, who assists the
Wildcat women’s golf program in recruiting and player
development. “She is familiar with being part of a winning
program at Norfolk Catholic and will help us get that same
winning tradition at Wayne State College. We are pleased to
sign a player of her talent.”
McCabe was a four-year standout at Plainview High School,
qualifying for state all four seasons. She was the Class C
runner-up as a senior after shooting rounds of 89-78 for a
two-day score of 167, a career-best score for McCabe, helping
Plainview to a second place team finish. McCabe won five gold
medals in tournaments as a senior and also placed 11th at
state as a junior. She also excels in the classroom, earning
three Academic All-State awards in golf along with being named
to the 2006 Class C All-State Girls Golf Team.
“Heather McCabe is going to be a great asset to the
Wayne State women’s golf program,” remarked Harder.
“She had a very successful high school career and will
step right in and help us build towards a conference championship.
Heather will fit in very well with the weather that we play
in after watching her shoot a 78 at last fall’s state
tournament in the pouring rain.”
