SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Chattanooga women’s golfer Dorota Zalewska has been named the Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week for all competition from March 30 to April 5. The selection is made by the conference office.
 
Zalewska clinched her second career win at the Brickyard Collegiate in Macon, Georgia, on Monday, April 4, shooting a 2-under-par 142 to win by one stroke over a pair of ranked golfers, No. 49 Tunrada Piddon of UCF and No. 73 Letzia Bagnoli of Florida Atlantic. The junior fired a 4-under 68 in Monday’s first round before closing with a 2-over 74 to hold the day-one lead and eventually clinch the win when Tuesday’s final round was canceled due to inclement weather. Zalewska is the fourth Moc with multiple wins over a career, joining Chattanooga’s Emma de Groot ’11 (6), Agathe Sauzon ’15 (2) & Emily McLennan ’16 (3), with her victory at the Brickyard Collegiate marking her fourth top-five and sixth top-10 finish of the season. Her 68 tied for her second-lowest career round was the lowest relative to par.
 
Zalewska was also named the SoCon Women’s Golfer of the Week on Wednesday, collecting her third weekly award this season.
 
The Szczecin, Poland, native maintains a 3.35 grade point average and is currently majoring in exercise science.
 
The Mocs return to action at the Southern Conference Women’s Golf Championship at the Barefoot Landing Resort’s Dye Golf Course in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on April 17-19.
