Sigg was named First-Team All-SEC, Ralston was picked for the SEC All-Freshman Team and Beringer landed on the SEC Community Service Team.
Ralston, a freshman from Gainesville, has appeared in all 10 events this season. He has five top-12 efforts, highlighted by a seventh-place finish in the Franklin American Mortgage Intercollegiate at The Grove. Ralston fired a 7-under in the second round and 9-under overall at the Ka’anapali Collegiate to set his career lows. He ranks second on the squad with a 71.31 scoring average.
Sigg earned First-Team All-SEC honors for the second straight season.
