FRISCO, Texas —
Matilda Samervong became the first Lamar University women's golfer since 2019 to earn a Southland Conference honor, the league office announced Thursday.
Samervong was named Southland Conference Golfer of the Week, becoming Lamar's first Southland Conference award winner since Elodie Chapelet earned Golfer of the Month honors in February 2019.
Alessia Trebbi-Tindall was the Cardinals' most recent golfer to receive a weekly conference honor, earning Western Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week recognition in April 2022.
Samervong leads the Cardinals with a 74.5 stroke average through six rounds this season.
She claimed medalist honors at the Lady Clerico, finishing with a 54-hole score of 217 (71-73-73).
The total marked Lamar's first 54-hole score below 220 since 2024, when
Karolina Krasova and Trebbi-Tindall recorded scores of 218 and 215, respectively, at the UT Rio Grande Valley Invitational.
Samervong also became the first Cardinal to win an individual title since Tribbi-Tindall earned medalist honors at the Cardinal Challenge in 2023.
