TROY, N.Y. (Sept. 24, 2012) – The Liberty League has announced its weekly award winners in golf and Mount Holyoke College student-athlete Madi Mendiola was tabbed as the Performer of the Week for her performance.  It marks the second consecutive award for Mendiola, who paced the Lyons at last weekend's Mount Holyoke Invitational.

A sophomore from San Diego, Calif., Mendiola shot a combined 155 over the two-day event, finishing fifth overall. She concluded the first day of action with a 76 on the Par 72 course at the Lyons' home venue, The Orchards. Mendiola then swung her way to a 79 on day two for the finish.

Mendiola earned the league's Performer of the Week honor last week after shooting a 157 at the two-day, season-opening NYU Invitational. Through two invitationals, she has placed no lower than fifth.

Last season the former Rancho Bernardo High School standout racked posted the second best scoring average in school history (81.27). In addition to five top-ten finishes, she ended the season ranked 12th in the region.

During her high school career, Mendiola was a four-year varsity athlete, serving as captain of the golf team. In addition to earning All-League recognition, she played in the California High School Girls State Golf Tournament as a sophomore and was a two-time participant at the First Tee Open at Pebble Beach.

Mount Holyoke returns to the course this weekend at the 2012 Middlebury College Invitational. Action begins on Saturday and runs through Sunday. The Lyons tee-off on Saturday at 1pm.
