SPARTANBURG, SC – ETSU sophomore Arisa Piyamanit was named SoCon Women’s Golfer of the Week for tournaments played between September 30 and October 6.
 
Piyamanit (Nakhon Prathom, Thailand) finished tied for 31^st against a challenging field at the 2026 Mercedes-Benz Intercollegiate hosted by 16^th ranked Tennessee at the Cherokee Country Club in Knoxville. She rebounded from an opening score of 76 to shoot even par in each of her final two rounds to move up eight spots in the final individual standings. Piyamanit sank two birdie putts in the second round and had three birdies in the final round to finish just one stroke outside the top 30.
 
Her effort helped the Bucs finish eighth in the team standings, six strokes ahead of Florida International.
