Senior Brittany Boon was named MCC Women's Golfer of the Year and collected All-MCC accolades while junior Chien Hau Tan earned Honorable Mention All-MCC honors in men's golf.
Boon, a Bloomington, Ill.-native became a four-time all-league selection this season after earning medalist honors at the Midwest Collegiate Conference Championships held Apr. 20-21 at Blue Top Ridge Golf Course in Riverside, Iowa. She carded a two-day score of 164 (81-83) to win the event by two strokes.
In addition, Boon finished tied for second in a pair of tournaments this spring while also bringing home a fifth place outing at the Maryville Invitational, held in March.
"Brittany had a tremendous year on and off the course and I was really happy to see her cap her senior year off with a win at the conference tournament," said Head Coach Josh Heiple. "There were a lot of really good players in the MCC this year and I appreciate the other coaches recognizing Brittany.
On the other side of the ledger, Tan concluded his junior season with an eighth place finish at the MCC Championships by firing a three-round total of 220 (75-73-72). It was his second top-ten finish of the spring season and second in as many tournaments after the Sabah, Malaysia-native tied for ninth overall at the Augustana Invitational held Apr. 13-14.
