Brooklyn, N.Y. – Long Island University junior Anna Palsson has been named Northeast Conference Women's Golfer of the Week for her first place finish at the MU Hawk Invitational over the weekend. This is the second week in a row Palsson has received the honor and the third time so far this spring.

 

Palsson carded rounds of 80-77 at the event en route to her first ever tournament win. The Stockholm, Sweden native finished six strokes ahead of the nearest NEC competitor, Monmouth's Kelsi Kavanagh, who took second. The Blackbirds finished in third place at the event and higher than every other participating NEC team, except for the hosts, the Hawks.

 

Long Island women's golf is back on the links April 16 for the Roar-EE Invitational at the Spook Rock Golf Course in Suffern, N.Y.
