NEED TO KNOW:
USA South Golfer of the Week: Erin Donovan
USA South Rookie of the Week: Aubree Hill

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Piedmont women's golf swept the USA South Athletic Conference's weekly awards, released Wednesday afternoon.

For the 19th time in her career, senior standout Erin Donovan has been honored with a USA South weekly award. The Southaven, Mississippi native separated from the pack at the team's season opening Transylvania Fall Kickoff tournament, winning by four strokes after rounds of 3-under 70 and 1-under 72 that included just two bogeys over the 36 holes.

 

The win marked the eighth shared or solo individual title of Donovan's career.

 

Playing as an individual, Hill made her mark in her Piedmont debut, carding a 7-over round of 80 in the opening round Sunday that included an eagle. Then, she played steady golf in the final round Monday, carding a 3-over 76 to finish in a tie for 17th on the individual leaderboard.

 

Up next, the Lions will tee it up at the MCC Montgomery Intercollegiate, beginning Sunday, September 21 in Montgomery, Alabama.
