CCIW Release

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - For the first time this season and the third time in her career, Illinois Wesleyan University women's junior golfer Macy Ludwig (Effingham, Ill.-St. Anthony) earned College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Golfer of the Week honors, the league office announced Wednesday, April 17. It is the third straight week a Titan has claimed the award, as Emma Thorman and Lexi Onsrud earned the honors in the past two weeks. 

Ludwig broke several individual school records and contributed to several team school records en route to the third victory of her career and back-to-back medalist honors at the Kathy Niepagen Spring Fling this weekend, April 13-14. Ludwig broke the individual school record as she carded a 5-under 67 in round one. Additionally, with Ludwig's school record round, the team tied the school record in round one with an even par score of 288. With her 74 in round two, Ludwig's 36-hole total of three-under 141 was a school record as well. Ludwig recorded six birdies and two eagles on the weekend to lead Illinois Wesleyan to a team title and the best 36-hole team score, five-over 581, in school history. 

Illinois Wesleyan returns to action this weekend for their final regular season tournament, the UW-Whitewater Spring Fling, on Friday and Saturday, April 19-20 at Riverside Golf Course in Janesville, Wis. Play on Friday is set to begin at 1 p.m.
