William Ekeroth earned athlete of the week honors after capturing the individual tournament title at the AU Fall Invite.  Making his collegiate debut, Ekeroth was the lone golfer to shoot under par in each of the two-round tournament as he recorded a 138 (-6) to earn Medalist honors.  The freshman opened the tournament by tallying a 68 (-4) in the first round to sit in second place.  The Linkoping, Ostergotland native was one-under-par at the turn and sank eagles on holes 14 and 18 to close out his round.  Ekeroth followed that up with six birdies during the final round to close out with a two-under-par, 70.  Ekeroth becomes the first Patriot to win their collegiate debut under Head Coach Aaron Watkins.  His performance also aided Cumberlands to capture the team title in their season-opening tournament.
