RICHMOND, Va. – Blue Hen sophomore Oihana Etxezarreta has been named Colonial Athletic Association Women's Golfer of the Week following her win at the Kingsmill Intercollegiate.

Etxezarreta earned medalist honors at the tournament for the second consecutive year by firing a one under par 72-70-73=215 on the par 72, 5,974-yard River Course at Kingsmill Resort. She recoded three birdies during all three rounds to post a five-shot victory at the tournament.

The Blue Hens also claimed the team title for the second year in a row, finishing first out of 14 squads with a 911 total.

Etxezarreta leads the Blue Hens with a 74.31 average round this season, and has been the team's low finisher in five of the nine tournaments. She earns her second CAA Women's Golfer of the Week award this year, and the fourth of her career.

Etxezarreta and the Blue Hens return to the course on Sunday and Monday when they compete in the Brickyard Collegiate in Macon, Ga.
