ST. PAUL, Minn. – The St. Catherine University athletic department selected the Fleur-De-Lis award recipients for the weeks of September 27-October 10 recognizing the St. Kate's golf team for their second consecutive Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Women's Golf Championship on Monday, October 4th at Bunker Hills Golf Course. 

Introduced in the fall of 2017, the Fleur-de-lis award is an honor given to student-athletes who embody the three components of the Wildcat athletic department; sport, scholarship, and service. The fleur-de-lis is a visual representation of the athletic department's mission. The three petals of the fleur-de-lis represent the tenants of our mission:  Scholarship, Athleticism, and Service.  The band holding the three pedals together represents leadership and perseverance.  Excellence in any of these areas is recognized by the department through this award. 

The Fleur-de-lis award honors Wildcat student-athletes who have exemplified the department's mission on the field, the classroom, and through community service. The fleur-de-lis, or "flower of the lily" in English, is a symbol used by the University and Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and is proudly incorporated into the St. Catherine shield as a representation of the Sister's French heritage and the seed from which their good works grow.
