ST. LOUIS – With a top ten performance at the Samford Intercollegiate earlier this week, Aces senior Griffin Wood has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week.
 
He shares the honor this week with Alisha Matthews of Southern Illinois.
 
Wood finished in a tie for 7th place overall to lead the Evansville to a 12th place finish in the Samford Intercollegiate on Tuesday. Two other Valley schools competed in the event - Illinois State, Southern Illinois - and Wood was the highest finishing MVC golfer.
 
After shooting a 75 in round one, Wood carded a 1-under 71 before tallying a 74 to finish with a 220 over three rounds. Host school Samford swept both the team and individual championships. As a team, Samford notched an 882, finishing nine strokes ahead of Austin Peay and Davidson, who tied for second.
