SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Furman women’s golfer Natalie Srinivasan has been named the General Shale Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week for all competition between Sept. 25 and Oct. 1.

Srinivasan earned individual medalist honors for the second consecutive week, shooting a 5-under-par 211 at the Lady Paladin Invitational in Greenville, South Carolina. The senior carded a 1-over 73 and a 2-under 70 in the opening rounds, placing her in a tie for fourth heading into the final round. Srinivasan made the turn on the last day in seventh place before recording four straight birdies to move into a tie for the lead. She took a 1-stroke advantage on hole No. 16 and sealed the victory with a birdie on the final hole for a 4-under 68. Srinivasan guided the Paladins to a second-place finish out of 16 teams in their own tournament, finishing just five strokes back of No. 1 Wake Forest.

A health science major, Srinivasan holds a 3.81 grade point average.

Srinivasan and the Paladins will be back in action Oct. 11-13 at the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invitational at the UNC Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
