SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – University of Denver women's golf sophomore Alyson Bean got her spring season started the right way, being named Summit League Golfer of the Week in a release by the league on Wednesday.
 
This marks the first time in the sophomore's career that she has won the award.
 
Bean is coming off a stellar performance at the Tri-Match in the Desert this past Sunday, firing a 2-under 70 to finish tied for second in the prestigious event.
 
The Pioneers competed against No. 2 Arizona State and No. 20 UCLA, falling by one to the Sun Devils while tying with the Bruins with a team score of 288 (even par).
 
"Aly had a great start to the season this past weekend," head coach Lindsay Kuhle said. "She had four birdies and played with great confidence and belief in herself and her game.
 
"She really has made terrific strides this year and become a fixture on our team because of her hard work and confidence."
 
Denver returns to action for the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate on Feb. 16 in New Orleans.
