After winning her second tournament championship of the season, University of Evansville golfer Sophia Rohleder has added the second Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week accolade to her list of accomplishments.
The Evansville native opened this spring with a medalist at the ASU Spring Classic and followed that up with another victory on Tuesday at the Don Benbnow Invitational in Jacksonville Beach, Fla. Rohleder paced the competition for the majority of the event, fending off a challenge by Olivia Loberg of Eastern Michigan to win by one stroke. On Monday, Rohleder saw atop the leaderboard with a 75 and followed that up with a 5-over 76 on Tuesday. Her final score of a 151 was one in front of Loberg’s 152.
Rohlder finished the event in style, draining a 10-foot putt to clinch the victory. Up next for Rohleder and the UE women is the Pinehurst Women’s Intercollegiate on March 29-30.
