Eastern Illinois junior golfer Mya Mirocha was named the Ohio Valley Conference women's golfer of the week on Wednesday becoming just the fifth different EIU individual to ever win the weekly award.
 
Mirocha finished in third place at the Chicago State Windy City Classic shooting a 36-hole total of 150 which was one stroke behind the tournament co-winners.
 
The 36-hole total of 150 is tied for the seventh best total in school history while Mirocha's opening round of 72 is tied for the fifth best single round in school history.
 
It was the third top ten finish for Mirocha in her last five tournaments dating back to last spring.    The third place finish was the best by an EIU women's golfer at a tournament since Daphne Chang placed second at the Indiana State Spring Invitational in April 2018.
 
EIU has now won the weekly award a total of seven times with Chang a three-time winner during her EIU career.
