Trio of Golfers Earn MVC Golfers of the Week Honors

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Trent Wallace, David Perkins, and David Rauer have been named the Missouri Valley Conference Golfers of the Week after their performance at the Boilermaker Invitational.

The trio tied for third out of 84 golfers in Illinois State's first appearance at the Boilermaker Invitational. The Redbirds placed first in the tournament after the final 18-holes were canceled due to weather. The squad played against a strong field of schools that included fifth-ranked Oklahoma.

In the first round, Perkins and Rauer led the team by shooting two-under par (70) while Wallace was right behind them one stroke under (71).
