After leading the West Texas A&M women's golf team to a third-place finish at the Shark Shootout hosted by Hawaii Pacific, the Lone Star Conference named Alyssa Campbell the LSC Women's Golfer of the Week. Campbell fired two-under par (70) in the first round of the tournament, collecting three birdies and an eagle along the way. The senior returned to the course on Wednesday where she sunk four birdies in a six-hole span. Campbell ended the second round with a score of one-under (71) to move into second in the individual standings. The Lancaster, South Carolina native's performance allowed the Lady Buffs to jump up five spots from their first day positioning. Campbell was one of just three individuals to record an eagle and one of two to shoot under par in both rounds.
