Edison, NJ – Fairfield University’s Steve Burak was named the MAAC Men’s Golfer of the Month for April, while Boston University’s Kristyna Pavlickova earned the women’s award.
Steve Burak, a junior from North Easton, Massachusetts, was the Stags top finisher and top MAAC finisher at the Mount St. Mary's Spring Invitational. He shot a -3 69 in the second round of the event and finished fourth with a 54-hole score of 218. He was also under par in the opening 18 holes.
Pavlickova, a sophomore from Prague, Czech Republic, tied for an individual title at the rain-shortened Roar-EE Invitational on April 12, as she shot a 79 to help give Boston a two-stroke victory as a team. Three days later, she tied for first after 36 holes at the Brown Invitational thanks to an even-par second round, but fell short in a three-person playoff. She finished the tournament with a three-over 147 (75-72) to help Boston finish eighth as a team. At the Pinehurst Challenge on April 2, she led the Terriers with a 54-hole score of 240 (82-78-80).
