AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Peach Belt Conference has announced its weekly honors on Monday afternoon, and Flagler women's golfer Kalia Polete has been named PBC Women's Golfer of the Week. Polete becomes the first Saint this season to earn weekly honors.
 
"I'm really proud of Kalia and the way she competed this past week," said Flagler Golf Head Coach, Santiago Cavanaugh. "She showed a lot of confidence and maturity against a very strong field. It's great to see her earn PBC Golfer of the Week, and she's off to a fantastic start this fall. I'm excited to see what's ahead for her."
 
Polete competed in her second fall tournament of the season after joining the Saints from Daytona State College. The junior shined at the D2 National Preview over the weekend placing third overall. Polete opened the tournament shooting a 72 behind 11 pars, two birdies, and an eagle. Polete found a rhythm in the second round shooting a weekend-best 71 with 13 pars and three birdies. Sitting in the top five heading into the final round, Polete stayed consistent and shot a 74, which included 12 straight pars.
 
Polete has led the Saints to an impressive start this fall season, which includes back-to-back top five finishes. Flagler opened the season with a second-place finish at the Eckerd Invitational as Polete finished tied for third at five-over. Most recently, Polete guided the Saints to a fifth-place finish at the D2 National Preview.
 
Flagler will return to the course on Monday, October 12^th as the Saints head to the Newberry Fall Invitational at Harbor Club on Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Georgia.
