A two-time National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) All-American, she helped lead the Vulcans to five invitational titles highlighted by the program's first-ever title at the PSAC Championships.

Luke collected nine top-20 finishes this year and posted a scoring average of 80.3 through 13 events. She finished 10th overall at the NCAA Regional Championship, helping Cal U to finish in fourth place at the event.
