EVANSTON, Ill. -- Senior Liliana Alvarez (Durango, Mexico/American School of Durango) was named the Big Ten Conference Golfer of the Week on Friday after leading the Wildcats to the 2007 Red Rocks Invitational title last weekend and earning individual co-medalist honors in the process.
Alvarez delivered with a birdie on her final hole, which gave Northwestern a single-stroke victory over Washington State. The former Tulane University star, who is completing her final year of eligibility while enrolled in graduate school, carded rounds of 73 and 74 for a 3-over 147.
In her five tournaments with the 'Cats this year, Alvarez has finished in the top 15 of all five events with three top-10 showings.
