Junior earns second career weekly conference accolade
YPSILANTI, Mich.- Eastern Michigan University junior Catherine Fortin (Beauceville, Canada-Polyvalente St. Francois) was named the Mid-American Conference Women's Golfer of the Week for the period ending April 10. The award marks the second time in her career that she has claimed the weekly league accolade.
Fortin fired a second round 77 to finish one-shot off the pace with a 152 (75-77), as Tennessee Tech’s Madison Denman earned medalist honors with a 151. For the second consecutive tournament EMU walked away with the invitational trophy as the Green and White recorded a 646 (324-322) to win the weather-shortened EKU Spring Invitational at the Arlington Golf Course, April 6-7.
The tournament victory marked the third championship that EMU has captured during the 2006-07 campaign and the eighth overall title in the program’s 10-year history. The victory is also Eastern’s fourth during head coach Sandy Wagner’s two year tenure as coach.
In nine tournaments the Eagles have competed in during the 2006-07 campaign, Fortin has finished in the top-20 every time. She is averaging 75.87 shots per round on the season, which is forth-best in the Mid-American Conference.
The Eagles take a few weeks off before returning to action April 21-22 at the Lady Buckeye Invitational in Columbus, Ohio.
