Women’s Golf Player of the Week
Julie Boysen Hillestad * Jr. * East Carolina
Boysen Hillestad was one of two East Carolina players in the top 10 individually as the Pirates captured the team championship by two strokes at the ECU Easter Invitational on April 3-4 at the Ironwood Country Club in Greenville, North Carolina. She paced the ECU lineup in a tie for fifth place with scores of 77-70-71=218 (+2) on a difficult track at the par-72, 6,188-yard layout. Boysen Hillestad was one of just four players in the field to shoot multiple rounds under par and helped push ECU over the top for the team win after the Pirates began the final round six shots back. She carded a tournament-best two eagles (both on the par-5, 515-yard 13th hole), with the second eagle keying a bogey-free 2-under-par 34 on the back nine in her final round 71.
