Leibfried named Athlete of the Week

Senior's ECAC Title Earns Him Third Career UAA Honor

Leibfried's two-day score of 144 was the best in the field.

NYU golfer Mike Leibfried was named UAA Athlete of the Week on Oct. 6 for his title-winning performance at the ECAC Division III Metro/Upstate Championship held over the weekend at Ravenwood Golf Club in Victor, NY.

Leibfried shot an even-par 72 during both rounds, good for a two-day total of 144. His score was the lowest in the field of 59 golfers and led NYU to a second-place team finish.

The victory was the second individual title of Leibfried's career and his first for a two-day event. The UAA honor was the third of his NYU career.

Leibfried and the Violets return to action on Oct. 10 at the Hamilton College Invitational which will be held in Clinton, NY.
