RICHMOND, Va. -- University of Delaware golfers Nathalie Filler and Erik Dulik were named the Colonial Athletic Association Women's and Men's Golfer of the Week respectively, the conference announced on Wednesday.
Filler, a junior from Bloomfield, Conn. (Westminster School), became the first medalist winner in UD women's golf history during the Blue Hens' season-opening tournament win at the Tignanelli Towson Invitational.
She followed up her opening round 75 by tying the Blue Hen single round record with a one under par 71 on Monday on the par 72, 6,162-yard course at Towson Town & Country Club. Filler, who won the tournament by two strokes while finishing at two over par, also set a UD record with a 146 two-round score.
The Blue Hen women's squad, which successfully defended its Tignanelli Towson Invitational team crown and captured its fourth title in school history, posted a 608 two-round score and won the tiebreaker over the host Tigers.
Dulik, a freshman from Great Falls, Va. (Dominion), finished in second place after falling in a sudden death playoff during his first collegiate tournament over the weekend at the Navy Fall Classic.
He opened with an even par 71 on Saturday before firing a five under par 66 on the par 71, 6,528-yard Naval Academy Course on Sunday, finishing in a tie for first place along with Cole Berman of Georgetown. The two players then squared off in a sudden death playoff, with Berman edging Dulik to earn medalist honors.
Playing in his first collegiate tournament, Dulik tied for the third lowest round in UD history by carding the 66 on Sunday. He helped lead the men's team to a second place finish at the Navy Fall Classic, as the Blue Hens fired a two-round score of 570 to finish just one shot back of Seton Hall.
The UD men's team returns to action on Sept. 20-21 at the Cornell Fall Invitational in Ithaca, N.Y., while the Blue Hen women next compete at the Diane Thomason Invitational in Iowa City, Iowa on Oct. 4-5.
