Duan Named Washington Player of the Year



Nebraska’s Alice Duan became the second Husker in a week to be named a state player of the year when she was named the 2020 Washington Golf Women’s Player of the Year on Thursday, Oct. 22.

Duan, a graduate transfer to Coach Lisa Johnson‘s Nebraska program for the 2020-21 season, earned the Washington Player-of-the-Year award on the strength of capturing the 27th Washington Women’s Amateur Championship on the Cascade Course at the Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton in early July.

Last week, Nebraska senior Kate Smith was named the Minnesota Golf Association Women’s Co-Player of the Year, after winning the 2020 MGA Women’s Amateur Championship and qualifying for the 120th U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship.

Duan, who spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons at Washington after originally beginning her collegiate career at Cal State Northridge, earned her bachelor’s degree in business from Washington in June of 2020. She was granted an extra season of eligibility by the NCAA because of the coronavirus outbreak in March.

As a junior at Washington in 2018-19, Duan helped the Huskies to the NCAA Championship Finals and a second-place finish at the NCAA Cle Elum Regional. Duan tied for 28th individually at regionals. In 2018, she won the West Coast Women’s Amateur and qualified for the 2018 U.S. Women’s Amateur.
