The Leung sisters from Richmond have been recognized for their impressive seasons with the Simon Fraser University women’s golf team.
Estee Leung was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) Freshman of the Year.
At the recent GNAC Championship, she led after the first round after shooting an even-par 71, the only round of par or better shot in the tournament. Estee went on to finish third, her highest placing of the season. She held a 79.5 scoring average, which ranked eighth in the conference. Back in late March, she was earned Player of the Week honours after leading SFU at the Otter Invitational with a 5-over par 76.
Meanwhile, her older sister Emily was named to GNAC All-Conference First Team for the third straight year.
One of just two players to play in all 10 SFU tournaments this season, Emily paced the team with four top-10 finishes. The 2016-17 GNAC Player of the Year finished second in the conference at 78 strokes per round.
She was joined on the all-conference team by teammate Michelle Waters.
