BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. - Alexandra Cardi was named Mountain East Conference Player of the Week in women's golf on Wednesday afternoon for her performances at the  the Cumberland Trail Golf Classic.

Cardi finished fifth individually at the event hosted by Ohio Dominican, helping her team earn a third place finish. She ended with a two-day score of 151 (75, 76). Her day-one score of 75 was the second-best individual finish on Saturday. Cardi finished second in par 3 scoring (-1) and eighth in par 4 scoring (+6). She also finished third in parred holes (22) and eighth in holes birdied (4).

"I am extremely proud of Alex and happy for her for earning Player of the Week honors," head coach Colleen Groomes said. "She played so well this weekend, and to step up like that as a freshman is very impressive. As I have said before, this entire team is dedicated to the process of becoming better each day. Alex is no exception, and that is why I was not surprised that she played so well this week. I am sure this was the first of many great tournaments for her and I am excited to see what the future holds."

Notre Dame will compete at the MEC Fall Classic on Monday and Tuesday, October 2 and 3.
