SPARTANBURG, S.C. – ETSU’s Tereza Melecka has been named the Southern Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week for all competition Oct. 23-29. The selection is made by the league office.

Melecka made a tremendous comeback on the final day to finish at 4-under-par and take co-medalist honors at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown in Las Vegas, Oct. 27-29. The junior from Belcovice, Czech Republic, opened the tournament with rounds of 71 (-1) and 73 (+1), placing her four shots off the leader heading into the final day. Melecka stormed back with six birdies over the final 18, including back-to-back birdies on the final two holes to finish with a 4-under 68. The win marked the second of Melecka’s career and the first of the season.

The weekly award is Melecka’s first of her career.

ETSU will return to the course for the spring season on Feb. 21, when the Bucs compete at the Reynolds Lake Oconee in Lake Oconee, Georgia.

Also nominated: Carly Burkhardt (Furman) and Mary Kate Horton (Samford).
