A very familiar name to PacWest golf fans has returned and immediately grabs the PacWest Player of the Week award. Also very familiar, Holy Names takes the Team of the Week award for the second time this fall.

Point Loma’s Alli Kim returns to the course after serving as an assistant coach last season, and picked up where she left off with a +1 round of 75-70. Holy Names’ Ebba Wernered was impressive as well with the same +1 score, leading her team to a fifth place finish at the RJGA Shootout.
