She led the team in stroke average during her junior and senior seasons and finished her Gopher career with a 78.40 stroke average (110 rounds), the fourth-lowest in Gopher history.
Posthumus, a three-time Academic All-Big Ten performer, is all over the Golden Gopher record books. She holds the fifth and seventh lowest fall season scoring averages (75.71 & 76.25), the 14th lowest spring season scoring average (78.06), the sixth and the 11th lowest year scoring average (77.33 & 77.59) as well as the aforementioned career average.
