University of the Cumberlands Athletics

Neira was named the female athlete of the week after earning Medalist honors at the LTU Heritage Hills Collegiate.  The freshman opened the tournament with her best round as Patriot as she carded a 72 (E).  The Caracas, Venezuela native shot a two-under-par on the front nine, including sinking three birdies.  Neira added a birdie on the tenth hole to finish one stroke off the lead after the first round.  She followed that round up by carding 12 pars and sank birdies on holes 15 and 18 to force a tie for the top of the individual leader board.  Neira's 147 (+3) over the 36 hole course aided her in winning the tiebreaker as she earned Medalist honors for the first time as a Patriot.  Neira's performance led Cumberlands to a second place team finish.
