TOWSON, Md. – For the second time this fall and the fifth time in her career, sophomore Josephine Nguyen has been selected as the Landmark Conference Women's Golf Athlete of the Week.
 
Nguyen won medalist honors while leading the Rangers to the team title at The Melee, held at Ford's Colony Country Club in Williamsburg, Va. this past Sunday and Monday. She earned her first victory of the season and the seventh of her career by firing a 147 (77-70) and notching four birdies in each round. She tied Pfeiffer's Kirstyn Page for first place but won by virtue of the first tiebreaker – card comparison of the second round, in which Nguyen shot a 70 and Page carded a 75. As a team, the Rangers fired a 671 (342-329) to edge out both Pfeiffer and Shenandoah by a single stroke in the eight-team field.
 
Nguyen's second-round score was the second-lowest of her career, behind only her 68 on the second day of the same tournament last year. For the season, she has averaged a 77.4 over seven rounds and four events.
 
The Rangers conclude their fall season on Saturday and Sunday at the Landmark Conference Fall Preview, held at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort in Shawnee on Delaware, Pa.
