This is Beck's first time receiving Liberty League Coaching Staff of the Year honors. In just her second season at the helm of Wellesley golf, Beck led the Blue to a highly successful season which culminated a program record 36-hole score of 612 at the Liberty League Championship in Rexford, N.Y. Wellesley finished only one stroke behind No. 17 New York U. and had several notable performances, including sophomore Elizabeth Kim (Riverside, Calif.) finishing as the tournament runner-up. 

Wellesley also won the Bowdoin State of Maine Invitational to begin the year, had runner-up performances at the Vassar College Invitational and Vassar College Classic, and finished fourth at the Jack Leaman Invitational, ahead of highly regarded programs Hamilton and Middlebury. 

In addition to winning Liberty League Coaching Staff of the Year, the Blue also placed four members on the All-Liberty League teams. Kim and senior Kate MacVicar (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) both made the All-Liberty League First Team for finishing in the top five at the Liberty League Championship, while senior Caroline MacVicar (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) and junior Emma Lim (Skillman, N.J.) made the All-Liberty League Second Team, awarded to those who finished 6-10 at the Liberty League Championship.
