CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For the eighth time this season, High Point University's Makayla Grubb has earned a weekly honor as she was named the Big South Conference Freshman of the Week on Thursday by the league office.  

It is her sixth Big South Freshman of the Week accolade to pair with two Big South Golfer of the Week awards.

Grubb tied for 16th at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic (par 72, 6,217 yards) with a 6-over par 222 (73-79-70). Her final round 70 was bogey-free and vaulted her 16 spots up the leaderboard, and she tallied six birdies and 36 pars overall. Grubb helped the Panthers finish fourth in the 16-team field that featured five Power 4 programs, as HPU was two shots from No. 42 Indiana and ahead of No. 56-ranked Alabama and No. 68-ranked Penn State.

Next Up: The Panthers finish the regular season at the Terrapin Invitational, hosted by the University of Maryland, on April 5-6 in College Park, Md.
