UVM sophomore Libby Smith has been receiving national attention for her unique position as both a starting guard for the women' basketball team and a key player on the men's golf team. She has been featured in both Golf for Women and Sports Illustrated for Women as well as The Boston Globe, USA Today, and NESN. She is the only woman to compete on a Division I men's golf team and became the first woman to break 80 on the difficult New Seabury course in the New England Intercollegiate Golf Tournament last fall. (She played from the men's tees.) |

In her first collegiate game, Libby scored 23 points and hit the game winning shot in overtime. Coach Kieth Cieplicki was quoted in the Boston Globe as saying: 'Libby is a special person. As a coach you get certain players you call once-in-a-lifetime players, and that is what she is. She has a very strong mind and will, but in a very kind way. It's a really neat mix.' |
