PORTLAND, Ore. - The Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced its weekly awards on Monday afternoon, with Seattle Pacific's Zoe Garcia earning her fourth-career GNAC Women's Golf Player of the Week award for her performance during tour tournaments in Hawaii last week.

Garcia nabbed her second tournament victory of the fall, topping a field of 56 competitors to win the Hawaii Hilo-hosted tournament last week. After carding a 5-over-par 75 in the opening round, she finished the event on fire with a three-under-par 67 to close the tournament. That tied her for first place with Kailee McKee of Hawaii Hilo, but Garcia emerged on top after a playoff hole.

Garcia then tied for eighth place in her team's second event of the week at the Hawaii Pacific Sharks Shootout. Garcia shot a two-round score of 149 (71-78), notching another under-par effort her first time through the course. That also contributed to a team score of 284 for SPU, which broke the GNAC single-round scoring record.

Garcia closed the fall season with a scoring average of 74.0 through her first 10 rounds of the year, which ranks her third in the conference.

"Zoe continued her strong play this fall season during both events last week," head coach Tyler Copp said. "Her shot-making ability, demeanor, and confidence over the entire fall season have contributed to a lot of success. Zoe's bogey-free 67 (-3) on the more difficult of the two courses last week was next level. She doesn't shy away from the big moments, and she proved it with three elite shots to make birdie on the first playoff hole to secure the victory. Double-bogey avoidance is a key to tournament success, and Zoe did just that with only one double-bogey over 72 holes."

The Falcons will step away from competition during the winter months before restarting their season in the spring of 2027 at the LA Spring Kickoff on Feb. 8-9, 2027 at the Glendora Country Club in Glendora, CA.
