The Valparaiso University men’s golf team garnered its first weekly award as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference on Thursday as freshman Brett Seward (Aurora, Ill. / Aurora Christian) was tabbed the MVC Men’s Golfer of the Week.

Seward put together a quality performance at The Surf Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C., carding a 221 to tie for 21^st overall. His best round was the second, when he stroked a 71 that was sandwiched between 75s in Round 1 and Round 3.

Seward’s 71 marked a career low. After this weekend’s action, the Crusader rookie holds a 75.56 scoring average.

Valpo will continue an active spring break next week at the Colleton River Collegiate in Bluffton, S.C. The first two rounds will take place on Monday, March 12 with Round 3 slated for Tuesday, March 13.
