UI Golfer Mortellaro No. 9 In Nation

At first glance, Kayla Mortellaro isn't intimidating at all. She's nice, funny and easy to be around. But put her on a golf course and it's a different story. She's still nice and funny, but she's also one of the best collegiate golfers in the nation, and that makes her pretty intimidating. Mortellaro is only a sophomore, but already the Vandal has left her mark in the Idaho history books. In her short career, she's won four titles, three during the 2009-2010 season and one her freshman year. She also has the highest ranking in school history at No. 9 in the nation, averaging at 72.01 in 24 rounds of golf this year. Last year Mortellaro went to the NCAA regional tournament in Ohio, and though she didn't move on, it was a big tournament for such a young golfer/Sandra Kelly, Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here.
