Edison, N.J. ? Loyola’s Mike Mulieri was named the MAAC Men’s Golfer of the Month for October, while Siena’s Katelynn Mannix was chosen as the Women’s Golfer of the Month for the second time this season.
Mulieri, a senior out of Silver Spring, Maryland, claimed two top ten individual performances in the two events Loyola played in October. He finished ninth at the D.A. Weibring Intercollegiate at the Weibring Golf Club in Norman, Illinois, with rounds of 69-72-73 to lead the Greyhounds to a fifth place finish in the 15-team field. At the Santa Clara Invitational in Santa Clara, California, Mulieri was just one of six players to finish at even-par or better on the final day at the par-71, 6,709 yard Silver Creek Country Club. After carding rounds of 71 and 75 in Monday's first two rounds, Mulieri's 71 on Tuesday put him at 217 for the 54-hole tournament, leading his team to a sixth-place finish.
Mannix, a sophomore, repeats as Golfer of the Month after placing in the top-10 in a pair of two tournaments. The Plattsburgh, New York native fired a two round score of 153, capped by a final round score of 73 to finish fourth overall in a crowded field at the Rutgers Invitational. She rounded out the fall season with another top-10 score, placing ninth overall, shooting rounds of 80 and 82 at the Kelly Gutshall Invitational hosted by Lehigh University.
The 2009 Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships will be held April 23-26 at Celebration Golf Club in Celebration, Florida.
