IRVING, Texas - East Carolina senior golfer Julia Strandberg was named Conference USA Co-Golfer-of-the-Week the league announced Wednesday afternoon.
Strandberg continued her stellar play during her senior season, winning her first collegiate event at the Wild Eggs Cardinal Cup Invitational. In her fourth career start for the Pirates (23-1), Strandberg posted a 1-over par 145 (75-50) and helped ECU record a second place finish - their second-straight top-2 finish of the season.
The Greensboro, N.C. native carded a tournament-best 2-under par 70 (36-34) on the final day and avoided a possible playoff when she birdied two of her final three holes to claim medalist honors. She started her final round with a bogey at the par-4 first hole then played the course at 3-under par registering 14 pars and three birdies. In all, Strandberg fired six birdies (three each round) with 23 pars and became the eighth Pirate in school history to win an individual title. The win marked her second-straight Top 3 finish.
Strandberg and the Pirates will be back in action in action on Oct. 10-11 when they host the Lady Pirate Intercollegiate at the Greenville Country Club.
