7/14/2026 | Women's Golf
OXFORD, Miss. – Three University of Mississippi women's golfers – Nicole Gal, Matilda Björkman, and Kajsalotta Svarvar earned All-America Scholar Honors, the Women's Golf Association announced on Monday.
The criteria for selection to the WGCA All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics and continue to demonstrate the high-level academic achievements of players across the country.
To be selected, a student-athlete must have an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher and have played in 50% of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year nominated through the team's conference championship.
Björkman played in 31 rounds which tied for the third-most on the team this season. Her best finish of the year came at the Boilermaker Classic when she tied for third. Björkman carded five rounds in the 60s and went even or below par on 11 occasions.
Gal competed in 24 rounds this season for the Rebels. She recorded a career-low 2-under par twice and tied for eighth at the Canadian Collegiate Invitational last fall. Gal also had six rounds at even par or lower.
Earlier this month, Svarvar was tabbed to Golfweek's All-America honorable mention list. She also picked up All-America recognition from the WGCA, Svarvar finished her second year of collegiate golf with a team-leading 71.39 stroke average, tying her for the fifth-best single-season clip since 2003-04 at Ole Miss. Her 22 rounds at even or below par and 12 rounds in the 60's in 2025-26 are both the second-most in a season in the program record book. Svarvar picked up four top-five finishes on the season, including a third-place performance at the NCAA Regional to help propel the Rebels to the NCAA Championship.
