Audrey Clarke of Churchville receieved a pair of honors on Monday, as she was crowned both Empire 8 Conference Women's Golf Player of the Week and Elmira College Athlete of the Week.

Clarke picks up the awards following one of the best rounds of golf in program history on Sunday at the season-opening Utica College Invitational. At the always-difficult Yahnandasis Golf Club, the third-year Soaring Eagle carded a four-over par 77 on day two of the tournament. That score set a personal record for the lowest single-round posted by Clarke, while equaling the program record set by former NCAA Division III Championship Tournament qualifier, Tory MacNeil '08, for the lowest score versus par in EC history. While the 77 is two strokes shy of MacNeil's all-time record for the lowest overall score for a round of 18, Clarke registered the third-lowest score for a 36-hole tournament at 161 (+15), placing her seventh overall at the Utica College Invitational.
