ORLANDO, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference recognizes 15 women’s golf student-athletes as All-SSC in 2026. Barry’s Tereza Zavrelova was named Women’s Golfer of the Year, Nova Southeastern’s Alexandra Remaklus claimed Freshman of the Year honors, and Sharks head coach Heather Wall was crowned the league’s Coach of the Year.
SSC Golfer of the Year and Freshman of the Year awards are presented by Athletic Solutions.
Barry’s Zavrelova, a junior from Drasov, Czech Republic, was named the SSC Women’s Golfer of the Year after posting a head-to-head record of 531-73-13 against conference opponents. She owned a winning record against all but one golfer in conference and currently holds the No. 7 ranking in all of Division II.

She won the SSC Championship earlier in the month at Cabot Citrus Farms, shooting -2 in the final round to finish even for the tournament and take home first. Remaklus holds a head-to-head record of 546-119-21 in conference play this year.
Nova Southeastern head coach Heather Wall was awarded SSC Coach of the Year for the second year in a row and the third time in her career. Wall led the Sharks to their second conference championship earlier this month at Cabot Citrus Farms.
