KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association announced a new Women’s Golfer of the Week for the 2026 fall season. Rogers State’s Lauren Anderson and Washburn’s Susana Granados Carrion both earned runner-up finishes earlier this week to claim MIAA Co-Golfer of the Week honors.
 
 CO-GOLFER OF THE WEEK:  Lauren Anderson, Rogers State
Lauren Anderson's strong individual showing earlier this week propelled the Hillcat women’s golf team to their third straight title at the NSU Women's Classic at Page Belcher Golf Club in Tulsa, Okla. The senior from Tontitown, Ark., finished tied for second, marking her best individual finish as a Hillcat in the first tournament of her senior campaign. Anderson shot a 70 (-1) with two birdies and 15 pars in the final round to bring her 36-hole total to 145 (+3). Her one-under-par score in the second round was the best of any player in the event.
 
 CO-GOLFER OF THE WEEK:  Susana Granados Carrion, Washburn
In Washburn’s first event of the season, Susana Granados was the individual runner-up at the Missouri Southern Fall Invite, hosted at the Twin Hills Golf Club in Joplin, Mo., earlier this week. The senior from Cordoba, Spain, shot rounds of 72 (even) and 73 (+1) for a two-round total of 145 (+1), leading the Ichabods to their first team title of the season. Washburn won the event with a team score of 588 (+12), 16 strokes ahead of the invite’s runner-up, Arkansas Tech. Granados led the field of 54 with 27 pars and finished with four birdies.
 
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
Lauren Briggs, Northwest Missouri
Lauren Briggs carded a final-round score of 76 (+4) to tie for third place among the 54 golfers in the field at the Missouri Southern Fall Invite. It's her eighth top-10 finish and fifth top-three finish of her Bearcat collegiate career. Briggs added two birdies in Tuesday’s final round to give her eight total in the tournament, which tied for the most in the event. Briggs was four-under on the par-five holes in the 36-hole tourney for a 4.60 average – best in the field.
 
Kymbree Larance, Pittsburg State
Kymbree Larance led the Pittsburg State women's golf team to a sixth-place team finish at the Minnesota State/Concordia-St. Paul Fall Brawl at Troy Burne Country Club in Hudson, Wis., earlier this week (Sept. 14-15). Larance, a senior from Crawford, Texas, shot 159 (+17) in the 36-hole competition to finish in a tie for 13th place among 76 individuals, recording the first-ever top-20 finish by a Pitt State golfer in the program's brief two-year history.
