Footit, an elementary education major from Oshkosh West High School, owns a 3.91 cumulative GPA. She competed in all five of UW-Oshkosh's tournaments this past spring and averaged 90.375 strokes per 18-hole round. Footit finished 34th at the WIAC Championship while placing fourth at the Marian University Invitational and sixth at the Carthage College Firebird Invitational.
Pettenuzzo also participated in all five tournaments for the Titans this past spring.
