AKRON, Ohio – The University of Akron women’s golf program has signed Alli Weaver to a national letter of intent to play for the Zips in 2009-10, head coach Jenny King announced Friday.

“Alli is the total package,” King said. “She’s a good student, comes from a great family and shows a lot of drive on the golf course. I’m very pleased that she decided to continue her golfing career at Akron and I know she will make an immediate impact on our team.”

Weaver, who hails from Lititz, Pa., became the first female district champion in the history of the Warwick High School program last fall while competing on the boys team all four years. Furthermore, she placed seventh at the regionals (77) and 11th at the state tournament (75, 84) in the fall while posting a 77.8 stroke average.

For her career, she has made four district tournament appearances and has qualified for the state tournament three times. Weaver is a two-time Warwick High School player of the year and has more than 10 tournament championships under her belt, including three straight Lancaster County Junior and back-to-back Lancaster-Lebanon League titles.

Weaver is also a three-time high honor roll student, competes on the varsity track team and is the granddaughter of former Major League pitcher Jim Weaver, who played for the California Angels in the late 1960’s.
