Nieves repeats as CAA Men’s Golfer of the Week after helping the Blue Hens storm back to win the Golfweek Fall Challenge. The senior from Miami was 10-under in the 54-hole event as Delaware erased a 17-stroke deficit entering the final round to win the event in Myrtle Beach. Nieves’ 206, which placed him in a tie for fourth out of 93 competitors, was tied for the third-lowest three-round score in program history.

Fobes authored the first top-five finish of her college career to place third at the William & Mary Invitational. The junior matched the UNCW single-round record with a six-under 66 in the second round and led the field in eagles (2) and birdies (12). The Seahawks finished third as a team at the tournament and Fobes was the top CAA participant among the four league members competing.
