SPARTANBURG, S.C. ? College of Charleston sophomore Steffi Kirchmayr has been named Southern Conference women’s golfer of the week for March 12.

A native of Pocking, Germany, this is Kirchmayr’s second golfer of the week honor in the first three weeks of the season. She broke the 18- and 54-hole scoring records at the Pinehurst Challenge at Pinehurst #8 this week with a 69 in the final round and a three-day total of 217. Kirchmayr has now won at least a share of the medalist honors at her two most recent tournaments.

As a team, the Cougars finished the event in eighth place overall.

Other top performances were turned in by Brooke DeHart of Appalachian State, Emma da Groot of Chattanooga and Blair Lamb of Furman.
