She grabbed her third accolade of the year after placing third at the FSU Match Up
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) -- Jasmine Leovao was named the Mid-American Conference Women's Golfer of the Week, March 27, after placing third at the Florida State Match Up while helping the Eastern Michigan University team to a runner-up finish.
Leovao (Oceanside, Calif./El Camino/Long Beach State) finished third in Tallahassee, Fla., as she shot 213 (69-71-73) to post the ninth-lowest score in program history and post her second score this year and 12th of her career shooting below par for a 54-hole tournament. Leovao, who has finished in the top 10 five times this year with all five finishes in the top 5 and three in the top 3, ranked No. 86 nationally and finished better than three players ranked ahead of her. With her finish, she rose to No. 66 in the March 25 release of the national rankings.
Overall, the Eagles' second-place finish in Florida marked the fifth time in eight tournaments this year that Eastern has finished first or second in an event. Eastern won The Southern (Sept. 8-9) and the Leadership & Golf Invitational (Sept. 15-16) to open the season and has added runner-up showings at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate (Oct. 6-7) and the Alice & John Wallace Invitational (Feb. 14-16) ahead of the Florida State Match Up.
The weekly award is the third captured by Leovao this season after she was honored Oct. 24 before sharing the award with her twin sister, Janae Leovao (Oceanside, Calif./El Camino/Long Beach State), Feb. 20. She is the fourth different Eastern player to earn MAC Golfer of the Week three times in a single season (five total times it has happened) and the second since the 2012-13 season, joining her sister, when Sarah Johnson earned three accolades (Nov. 1, 2012, March 7, 2013, and April 18, 2013). Stephany Fleet was the first member of the program to earn three weekly MAC awards in a single season and accomplished the feat in two different seasons, including the 2006-07 (Sept. 27, 2006, Oct. 4, 2006, and March 28, 2007) and 2008-09 (Sept. 18, 2008, Feb. 11, 2009, and April 1, 2009) seasons.
Additionally, the honor is the sixth attained by the Eagles this season. Along with her three awards, Janae Leovao has been honored three times (Sept. 19, Feb. 20, and March 13) while Baiyok Sukterm (Bang Yi, Thailand/Panitchayakan Rajdamnern Tech/Lindsey Wilson) was honored Oct. 10.
The Eagles are back in action March 30-31 at the Silicon Valley Showcase at Green Hills Country Club in Millbrae, Calif.
