Lucia Pena notched the female athlete of the week honors after earning Medalist honors at the Mid-South Conference Fall Championship. The junior carded back-to-back rounds of 72 (E) to lead wire-to-wire and post a seven stroke victory.  Pena opened the tournament sinking three birdies en route to a three stroke lead after the first round.  The Ciudad Ri Dideal, Spain native, got off to a slow start in the second round sitting at +2 through five holes. Pena rallied sinking birdies on holes eight, ten, and 15 to finish the round with a 72.  Pena’s second round 72 was the lowest score of the round by three strokes.  The win marks Pena’s second career win and her first win since the 2017 Bill Sergent Invitational.
