Gibbs and Tarkany Earn MVC Co-Golfers of the Week Honors

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Junior Delia Gibbs and freshman Chloe Tarkany have been named Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Co-Golfers of the Week as announced by the conference office on Thursday.  They share the honor with Kristen Giles of Drake.

Gibbs won her second-straight medalist honor by firing a three-round 73-75-75=221.  She is just the third Belmont golfer in program history to win back to back individual titles (Lorie Warren, Cameron Fish).   The Lexington, Kentucky native earns weekly honors for the third time this fall.  For the season, she leads the team with a 73.8 scoring average and has top-five finishes in all three events this fall.

Tarkany shot a three-round 74-73-74=221 in the 44-player field to capture medalist honors for the first time in her collegiate career. She's just the second Belmont freshman to win an individual title, joining teammate Kendall Maynard.   For the season, the Scottsdale, Arizona product ranks second on the team in scoring at 76.2 and has a win and two top-16 finishes in three events. 

The duo helped the team to back-to-back team titles for the first time in school history, while Belmont posted the fourth-lowest 54-hole score in program history.  

The women's golf team is back on the links next Monday and Tuesday at the Little Rock Golf Classic in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.
