Sterling’s Hermansen Named KCAC Men’s Golf POTW

WICHITA, Kan. (SCWarriors.com) — Anders Hermansen of Sterling College and Abby Donovan of Kansas Wesleyan University have earned the KCAC Men’s and Women’s Golfer of the Week honors, respectively, the conference office announced Monday. The two golfers were selected for their performances from Sept. 23-29 by a vote of conference sports information directors. All KCAC Player of the Week honors are presented by Equity Bank.

Anders Hermansen – Sterling College

Jr. | Fredrikstad, Norway

Hermansen went out of the tournament with a bang and climbed 13 spots in the final round of the tournament. He finished in second place overall and claimed a Sterling College single-round record low 63. He was the highest KCAC finisher in the field.

Abby Donovan – Kansas Wesleyan University

Sr. | Concordia, Kan.

Donovan was dominant for the Coyotes at the Central Plains Invitational. She set two new KWU school records, carding a first-round 68, for the lowest single-round score in school history. She finished the tournament with a score of 144, setting a school record for the lowest two-round tournament score in school history. Donovan’s 68 was the only sub-par round at the tournament on the challenging Salina Country Club course. She enjoyed a five-shot victory in the individual standings and helped KWU to a second place finish. This marks the second consecutive week in which Donovan has been named the KCAC Women’s Golfer of the Week.
