Little Rock women’s golf placed four student-athletes on the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) All-Conference teams, including three First Team selections, according to an April 18 announcement by the league.
The recognition highlights Little Rock’s depth and performance as they prepare for the conference championship. Junior Eleonore Aernouts and sophomores Iara Martin and Elvira Flodstrom were named to the All-OVC First Team, while sophomore Cloé Poizac earned spots on both the Second Team and All-Newcomer Team.
Little Rock was one of only two programs in the conference to have three players selected for the First Team. Head coach Jenna Birch said, “This is a reflection of the work this group has put in all year. They’ve competed at a really high level against strong fields, and it’s great to see them recognized by the conference coaches. I’m really proud of how they’ve represented Little Rock.”
Aernouts led the OVC in stroke average throughout the season. She said, “I’m really honored. It means a lot to be recognized by the coaches, especially with how strong our conference is. But for me, it’s about what we can do as a team this week. That’s the focus.” Martin commented on her selection: “It’s special to be recognized, but it comes from what we do as a team every day. We push each other in practice, and that’s why we’ve had success. I’m excited for what’s ahead.” Flodstrom added, “I’m really grateful. This team has helped me so much, and we’ve built a lot of confidence together. We’re all focused on finishing strong at the championship.” Poizac said about her dual honors: “It’s been a great experience so far. I’ve learned a lot from my teammates and coaches. This recognition is nice, but we’re focused on competing this weekend and trying to win.” Birch also said of her team’s efforts: “Our depth has been a strength all year,” she said. “We’ve had different players step up at different times, and that’s what you need this time of year. We’re confident in our group.”
The Trojans now turn their attention to competing at the 2026 OVC Women’s Golf Championship scheduled from Sunday through Tuesday at Dalton Golf and Country Club in Dalton, Georgia.
The broader impact of these recognitions reinforces Little Rock’s standing as one of top contenders within their league.
