Bernat Named Unanimous Selection to All-Big 12 Team

MANHATTAN, Kan. – The postseason accolades for Kansas State women's golfer Carla Bernat continued on Friday, as the junior was a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 team as voted on by the league's coaches, the conference office announced.

A native of Castellon, Spain, Bernat was one of 11 golfers to earn All-Big 12 honors and one of five to be a unanimous selection. She is just the third women's golfer in school history to be named to the All-Big 12 team, joining Christine Boucher (2002, 2003 and 2004) and Connie Jaffrey (2018).

This is the second postseason honor in as many weeks for Bernat, who last Friday was named a Second Team All-American by the Women's Golf Coaches Association of America.

Bernat turned in one of the most impressive seasons in K-State women's golf history during her first campaign with the Wildcats, as she set a new school record for single-season scoring average (70.90), produced five of the program's top 11 54-hole scores and three of the school's top 26 18-hole scores.

Consistently ranked in the top 30 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings throughout the year, Bernat will enter the 2024-25 campaign tied for third in K-State history in career victories (2) and fifth in career top-five finishes (6).

A transfer from Tulane, Bernat helped guide the Wildcats to an impressive season under first-year head coach Stew Burke. K-State produced four top-five finishes during the 2023-24 campaign – its most in seven years – which included a win at the White Sands Invitational in October – its first tournament win away from Colbert Hills since October 2017. Additionally, K-State produced a team scoring average of 290.25, which was the best mark in school history (minimum 24 rounds) by nearly seven shots per round.
