MAC Women’s Golfer of the Week
Janae Leovao, Senior, Eastern Michigan
Oceanside, Calif. (El Camino)
Event: Leadership & Golf Invitational | Individual Score: 209 (-7)
Team Finish: 1st | Individual Finish: 1st
Leovao, who entered her senior season having never won a collegiate event, made it back-to-back weeks in which she earned medalist honors while leading the Eagles to consecutive team crowns for just the fifth time in program history and the first since 2021-22. The only player in EMU history to win consecutive tournaments and the first to win multiple titles in the same season since the 2014-15 campaign, Leovao's 209 tied for the second-lowest in program history (204 is the record) while her second-round 68 tied for the sixth-lowest in program history. All told, Leovao, who is 151-0-1 individually in 2025-26, led the charge for the Eagles, who shot a program-record 859 (282-286-291), which included an opening-round 282 that broke the program record for the second-consecutive tournament and helped EMU to its first tournament title (out of its 30 total) in which the Eagles posted a score below par (-5). Additionally, her wins marked the 10th and 11th times in program history that EMU won the individual and team title at the same event and the first to repeat the feat since Stephany Fleet in 2007 (Saluki Invitational) and 2008 (EKU Spring Invitational).
