Oskaloosa–Elise Warne (Jr., Melbourne, Australia, Exercise Science) finished off the fall slate with another accolade as she was named Heart of America Athletic Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week Monday.
Warne claimed the fifth weekly laurel of her career (second this season) after leading the Statesmen to a sixth-place finish at the Dalton State Roadrunner Invitational.
The junior tied for 19th out of 78 players with a score of 159 (80-79). Her effort helped #25 WPU defeat three ranked teams, including two programs from the top five.
Warne owns an 80.0 stroke average over 10 rounds, including four rounds in the 70s (low of 72). She has four top-10 finishes and one tournament win.
The award is the fifth for WPU this year.
