De Soysa, Moston Named Golfers of the Week

DENVER – Louisiana Tech’s Amrith de Soysa and San Jose State’s Erica Moston have been named the Western Athletic Conference Golfers of the Week for February 18-24.

De Soysa, a junior from Columbo, Sri Lanka (Pendleton Academy), won the individual medalist title at the eighth annual Rice Intercollegiate with a three-round total of 217 (74-71-72), one stroke ahead of two golfers. De Soysa bested 62 other competitors in the 12-team event and shot a final round even par 72 to come from behind to win. De Soysa had to record a sand save on his final hole of the third round to win the individual honor. It was his first career collegiate win, surpassing his previous best finish of fourth place at the 2006 Hal Sutton Intercollegiate.

Moston, a junior from Belmont, Calif. (Notre Dame HS), tied for second at the Qdoba Invitational hosted by the University of Miami with a four-over par 220 (74-75-71). Her final round 71 matched the low 18-hole total for the tournament. Moston finished second at the tournament for the second year in a row, and it was her second top-five finish this year as she was third at the Ron Moore Invitational during the fall.

The other men’s nomination was Fresno State sophomore Todd Angel.

The other women's nomination was New Mexico State freshman Suteera Chanachai.
