"She has rewritten many of the WashU record books and set a high bar for players who come after her!"
ANNIE MASCOT
Mascot ranked first in NCAA Division III in scoring average 72.55, and fired all 11 rounds in the 70s or lower. She set the WashU single-season record in scoring average and tied the mark in par or better rounds (5).

Mascot was named the UAA Athlete of the Week on Sept. 3, Sept. 23 and Oct. 21.
"Annie has started off her career at WashU hot. She came in ready to compete and contribute and that focus paid off," Swanson said. "She made a strong statement winning the Lady Red Wolves Classic in record-setting fashion and we look forward to seeing her develop in her next three years!"
