Junior
Eleonore Aernouts was named to the OVC Women's Players to Watch list. The France native earned October Women's Golfer of the Month honors after posting a 71.2 stroke average over two tournaments, including four rounds under par. Aernouts finished second among 102 competitors at the Lady Red Wolves Classic with a three-round total of 210 (-6), just three shots off the lead. Her two rounds of 69 tied for the fourth-lowest rounds by an OVC golfer this season. She closed the fall with a 1-over 217 at the Diamante Intercollegiate, finishing 19th.
Sophomore Cloé Poizac also turned in a strong fall, earning OVC Golfer of the Week honors in October. Poizac finished 1-over par at the Diamante Intercollegiate hosted by Little Rock at Diamante Country Club in Hot Springs Village, tying Aernouts for 19th as the Trojans placed eighth in a competitive field.
Little Rock opens its spring season Sunday at the UNCG Advance Partners Collegiate, which runs through Tuesday.
