IU East's Nowak claims final RSC Women's Golfer of the Week honor
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- IU East junior Bre Nowak won individual medalist honors at the RSC Women's Golf Championship last week to claim the final River States Conference Women's Golfer of the Week honor this year. The award was for play from April 16-22.
Nowak, from Chippewa Falls, Wis., won the RSC individual title for the second time in three years after winning in a playoff. With the victory she earned automatic qualification to the NAIA Women's Golf National Championship beginning May 22 in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
Nowak posted scores of 85 and 82 at the conference championship for a two-day total of 167. Scores at the tournament were elevated with the first round played in brutal, wintry conditions and the second round clearer but still cold. She led IU East to second place of nine teams in the team standings.
