Meghan MacLaren Named Sun Belt Golfer of the Month

MIAMI, FLA. (FIUSports.com) – Sun Belt Conference golf coaches have selected their initial men’s and women’s golfers of the month for the 2012-13 season, and FIU freshman Meghan MacLaren (Cambridge, U.K.) took home Sun Belt Conference Women’s Golfer of the Month honors after an impressive start to her collegiate career.
North Texas’ Rodolfo Cazaubon was named Sun Belt Conference Men’s Golfer of the Month.
MacLaren was part of a three-way tie for medalist honors, winning the Wolverine Invitational in her collegiate debut. The freshman scored a 14-over (227) to equal Eastern Michigan’s Alyssa Kwon and Michigan’s Alicia Weber for the individual title, and remained atop the leaderboard after all three rounds over the course of the event.
At the Sixth Annual Johnie Imes Invitational, MacLaren finished tied for third among 99 golfers with an even par score (216) after 54 holes. The stellar effort from MacLaren helped the Panthers finish in a tie for fourth in the team standings at 29-over, 893 (302-303-288). FIU’s final day score of 288 was the second-lowest team score of the tournament, to SMU’s second round 284. 
MacLaren and the Panthers will look to keep it going on Oct. 21-23 when they host the FIU Pat Bradley 35th Annual Tournament. FIU will then conclude its fall schedule the following weekend at the Rainbow Wahine Invitational in Oahu, Hawaii.
