University of Evansville sophomore Michael Sainz is the Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week after leading the Purple Aces to first place at last weekend's Ball State Cardinal Collegiate at Sultan's Run Golf Course in Jasper. Sainz finished in a tie for fourth place in the field of 83 golfers, shooting rounds of 76, 72 and 72 for 4-over-par 220. The Aces climbed from fifth place to first in the final 18 holes Sunday to win the 15-team tournament by two shots over runnerup Bowling Green, 889-891. It was Evansville's first team title since the 2008 squad won the Butler Invitational.
