Irish student-athletes excelling
on the field and in the classroom
Emma Albrecht — Golf
The freshman from Ormond Beach, Fla., set a new Notre Dame
mark for 36-hole scoring at the Schooner Fall Classic Sept. 19-21,
at the Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Okla., while helping the Irish
to a fifth-place finish. A 2014 Hewlett-Packard Scholastic Junior
All-America team member, Albrecht turned in a 3-under-par 139
(71-68), breaking the old record held by Katie Brophy by two
strokes (a 3-under-par 141 in 2004). Her final-round 68 tied the
sixth-lowest single-round score in school history.
Timothy Ball — Cross Country
The senior from Piscataway, N.J., was the top finisher for the
men's team at the National Catholic Invitational Sept. 18 at Burke
Golf Course in South Bend, placing third overall in the 8,000-me-
ter race with a time of 25:09.2. Ball averaged 5:01.8 per mile for
the event, trailing winner Chad Maloy (Canisius, 24:49.8) by 20
seconds.

The junior from Villa Park, Calif., finished tied for second over-
all with three other players at the Fighting Irish Golf Classic

finished with a 3-under-par score of 210 (71-70-69) and com-
piled 16 birdies during the tournament. Barens has finished
as Notre Dame's top performer for the fifth time in his career.
He did it four times as a sophomore in 2014, including the ACC
Championships.
