Pacific West Conference Golfers of the Week Release -- March 20, 2015

IRVINE, Calif. — Freshman Sterling Hawkins was rewarded Friday for the best round of her budding career at the Midwestern State Invitational by being named the Pacific West Conference Women's Golfer of the Week for the week of March 16-22.
 
Hawkins shot a four-over 76 in Tuesday's final round in Wichita, Texas, improving upon her 78 from Monday's opening round to jump 10 spots in the individual standings and finish tied for sixth overall, her first top-10 finish of the season. Hawkins' improved performance was a rare one Tuesday, as 21 of the top-30 individuals saw their scores increase on the second day.
 
Academy of Art also moved up in the standings thanks to Hawkins' help by being one of only two teams out of 16 to improve their score from day one. The Knights erased a five-stroke deficit to eclipse Tarleton State and finish third with a 626 (314-312) team total.
 
The Urban Knights continue their spring schedule Monday at the Cal State Monterey Bay Otter Invitational in Seaside, Calif.
