Marfa Sans, a rising sophomore, hails from Barcelona, Spain. During her freshman season, she posted a 77.08 average with a season-best 10th place finish at the NCAA Athens Regional.
Sharp held the program's third-best scoring average at 75.81 for the 2016-17 year. She placed fifth in the Big Ten Championships and has earned the WGCA All-America Scholar honors.
