Week’s Achievements: Murphy finished in 13th-place with a 222 (71-73-78) at the 2016 Mid-American Conference Championship on the par-72, 6,257 yard Purgatory Golf Club course. The top-15 showing was the 16th of her career as she also collected Second Team All-MAC honors. In total, the Plymouth, Mich. native led the team with an average of 74.44, the lowest in school history. Overall it was a very successful weekend for the Eagles, as EMU's 54-hole score shattered the program's previous MAC Championship low by 29 strokes which was set in 2003 at Walden Ponds in Hamilton, Ohio, with a 925 (309-317-299). Additionally, the team's 290 was the lowest 18-hole mark in the team's 57 all-time rounds in MAC Tournament play. Altogether, the three-round tally is eighth best in school history and the single-day score is tied for second all-time in EMU laurels. One of the best seasons in program history, the Eagles posted the lowest 18-hole average in program history at 304.04. The tally finished 1.7 strokes ahead of the 2011-12 squad's previous standard of 305.74. Overall, Eastern Michigan finished in the top-five at six different tournaments this season, including a second-place finish in the The Preview, which has also hosted by EMU at Purgatory in the fall.
