SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo senior Izzy Lawrence was selected to represent her native country of Trinidad and Tobago in the Pan American Games July 26-August 11 in Lima, Peru. She was one of 98 athletes selected and was the lone golfer on the list.

"I've played for my country for awhile now, and I couldn't be more grateful to be chosen to play at the Pan Am Games," Izzy Lawrence mentioned. "Playing for my country is something I've always wanted to do and I am honored to be given this opportunity to compete at this level."

Lawrence, a three-time WGCA Scholar All-American, will be entering her senior season in the Green and Gold in 2019-2020 where she will look to guide the women's golf team to a top three finish at the Sunshine State Conference finish and a trip back to the NCAA tournament.

"What an honor to play for your country!
