- Nevada's Lauren Hernandez has
been named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week for

Ariz., Feb. 26-27. Hernandez battled
windy and chilly conditions to card a final round of 72 to vault her from a tie
for 12th to the top spot. Her two-day
score of 150 (78-72) was tied for the ninth best in tournament history. Hernandez helped lead Nevada to fourth place
in the 18-team field. It is the second
time in her career that Hernandez has won a WAC golfer of the week or month
award.
