FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - For the third time this season, Piedmont women's golf freshman Lila Polakowski has been named the USA South Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week, announced Wednesday afternoon.

Polakowski's honor marks the sixth time in the 2025-26 season that a Lion has earned top rookie honors from the USA South.


 


The Canton, Michigan native used a solid second round to help the Lions nab a top 10 finish at the Stith Invitational this past week.

Polakowski fired rounds of 85, 79 and 85 to finish 57th on the individual leaderboard and first among the three Piedmont newcomers in the field.

Up next, Polakowski and the Lions will have a few weeks off before the USA South Conference Tournament, set to begin Monday, April 20 in Sanford, North Carolina.
