In addition, sophomore Grace Anderson plus seniors Jeneath Wong and Yingzhi Zhu received WCC All-Academic Team honorable mention.
At the conclusion of each athletic season, the West Coast Conference selects an all-academic squad for each conference-sponsored sport. To be considered for golf, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, be a regular in the lineup or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials, have at least sophomore athletic and academic standing with at least one year in residence completed at the nominating institution, and participate in at least 50 percent of the institution's completed contests.
Choi was named WCC Player of the Year after earning Medalist honors at the WCC Championship. She set a new conference record with a -9 finish at the Championship, shooting back-to-back 68s in the final two rounds to pull away from the field by eight strokes. Choi also earned an individual title at the Fresno State Classic in March, as she currently sits at No. 25 in the Scoreboard individual rankings. In nine total tournaments in 2025-26, Choi logged six top-10 finishes.
Academically, Choi has posted a 3.75 cumulative GPA as a sport administration major at Pepperdine.
Jeneath Wong, a senior, lands All-Academic honorable mention honors. She earned All-WCC honors for the fourth time in her career after delivering another strong season in Pepperdine's lineup. Wong posted five top-15 finishes on the season, highlighted by runner-up at the Fresno State Classic, while helping the Waves win both the WCC title in addition to two other team titles.
Yingzhi Zhu, a senior, also earns All-Academic honorable mention honors. Zhu earned the first All-WCC honor of her career after a standout senior season that included two career-best top-five finishes. She placed third at Fresno State and runner-up at Yale Invitational West while playing a key role in Pepperdine's conference championship campaign.
Grace Anderson, a sophomore, claimed All-Academic honorable mention recognition. Anderson earned All-WCC honorable mention after consistently contributing throughout the season for the Waves. Her year was highlighted by a seventh-place finish at the WCC Championship, where she scored in every round to help Pepperdine capture the conference title.
