Moore Named PBC Women's Golfer of the Week

AUGUSTA, Ga.  – UNCP sophomore golfer Meghan Moore, fresh off leading her team to a second-place finish at the Patsy Rendlemen Invitational on Tuesday, was named the Peach Belt Conference Women's Golfer of the Week this week, the league office announced Thursday.

Moore, a Durham native, was one of only three players in the field to shoot two rounds of 74 or less as she tied for fourth at the Patsy Rendleman Invitational.  She shot back-to-back rounds of 74 for a four-over-par 148, just one stroke out of third and two out of second in the 15-team tournament.  Her fourth-place finish is her third of fourth or better in four events this fall.  Moore is currently third in the PBC with a 75.9 stroke average.

This is the first Women's Golfer of the Week award for Moore and the Lady Braves have captured three of the five awards so far this season after teammate Katja Dammann earned two consecutive awards on Sept. 23 and Oct. 7.

The Lady Braves appeared as the 10th-ranked team in NCAA Division II on Wednesday on Golfstat.com's head-to-head rankings, and will return to action in February for the spring portion of their 2010-2011 schedule.
