FirstPoint golfer, Sophie Ollie, has committed to a golf scholarship with Murray State University in the NCAA's Division I for the 2011 season.

Sophie will leave the UK this August to begin her academic and playing career in Kentucky with the Racers.

Murray State University, located in the city of Murray, Kentucky, is a four-year public university with approximately 10,000 students. The school is Kentucky’s only public university to be listed in the U.S. News & World Report regional university top tier for the past 18 consecutive years (non-doctoral degree granting universities).  In addition to the main campus, Murray State University operates extended campuses offering upper level and graduate courses in Paducah, Hopkinsville, Madisonville, and Henderson.

Murray State University offers 11 associate, 64 bachelor's, and 42 master's and specialist programs, which are administered through five academic colleges, one school, 30 departments, and one joint program shared by the College of Business and Public Affairs together with the Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology. The College of Business and Public Affairs is the largest college, enrolling 23% of undergraduate students.

All of the FirstPoint staff are delighted with Sophie's scholarship signing and would like to wish her every success for the next four years in America.
