Glenview's Perakis Named MVC Golfer of the Week At Bradley

PEORIA, IL — Freshman Maria Perakis, a graduate of Glenbrook South, has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week after tying for 10th at the Little Rock Golf Classic earlier this week.

For the fourth time in five outings this fall, Perakis paced Bradley Women's Golf, tying for 10th at the Little Rock Golf Classic at three-over 219, according to Meirt Pages News. She helped the Braves to a seventh-place team finish in the 11-team field, which included MVC rivals Illinois State and Missouri State, at the par-72 Diamante Country Club in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

After an opening-round 74 Sunday, Perakis carded a one-over 73 Monday and wrapped up the fall with a 72 Tuesday as she tied for 10th overall at 219 to match the lowest 54-hole score by a Bradley freshman. Her 219 was the lowest three-round total of the fall for the Braves as she helped Bradley tie the ninth-best 54-hole team score (900) in program history.

She was one-under on the par 3's and turned in 40 pars, along with six birdies in the three-day event. Perakis closed out the fall slate with a team-best 74.53 stroke average, which would rank fifth among BU season marks. The MVC Golfer of the Week honor is the first for a Bradley freshman since Taylor Ledwein earned the award in February 2017.

Bradley Women's Golf closed out the fall schedule at the Little Rock Golf Classic and will open the spring slate in February.
