Golf’s Katja Dammann Named UNCP Athlete Of The Week

PEMBROKE – After leading the UNCP Lady Braves to a team title and earning an individual runner-up finish at the Falcon Cup on Tuesday, UNCP senior golfer Katja Dammann has been named this week's UNCP Athlete of the Week, athletic department officials announced Monday.

Dammann led the Lady Braves with a 146 (+6) score over the two-day Falcon Cup, placing her second overall and just three strokes off the individual lead to help the Lady Braves win the tournament by two strokes over Newberry. Dammann's second-round score of 71 was the lowest round score other than winner Ashley Denton of Wingate, who carded a 69 in the second round of the tournament. The win by UNCP was their second tournament victory in the history of the program.

A three-year member of the UNCP golf team, Dammann has registered 10 top-5 finishes over her career, including a pair of tournament titles. She finished last season with a 78.9 stroke average en route to first team all-Peach Belt Conference accolades.
