Complete MCC Men's Golf Release

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa - The Midwest Collegiate Conference announced on Wednesday that a pair of Ashford University golfers have been named to the leagues' postseason all-conference teams.

Senior Brittany Boon was named MCC Women's Golfer of the Year and collected All-MCC accolades while junior Chien Hau Tan earned Honorable Mention All-MCC honors in men's golf.

Boon, a Bloomington, Ill.-native became a four-time all-league selection this season after earning medalist honors at the Midwest Collegiate Conference Championships held Apr. 20-21 at Blue Top Ridge Golf Course in Riverside, Iowa. She carded a two-day score of 164 (81-83) to win the event by two strokes.

In addition, Boon finished tied for second in a pair of tournaments this spring while also bringing home a fifth place outing at the Maryville Invitational, held in March.

"Brittany had a tremendous year on and off the course and I was really happy to see her cap her senior year off with a win at the conference tournament," said Head Coach Josh Heiple. "There were a lot of really good players in the MCC this year and I appreciate the other coaches recognizing Brittany.

On the other side of the ledger, Tan concluded his junior season with an eighth place finish at the MCC Championships by firing a three-round total of 220 (75-73-72). It was his second top-ten finish of the spring season and second in as many tournaments after the Sabah, Malaysia-native tied for ninth overall at the Augustana Invitational held Apr. 13-14.

The AU women's team finished second overall at the league meet while the men took third place, climbing from fifth during the final round of the conference meet.

Grand View University laid claim to the other two specialty awards on the women's side as Kenzie Rottinghaus was named MCC Newcomer of the Year. GVU Head Coach Chris Winkle swept both men's and women's MCC Coach of the Year honors.

On the men's side, GVU's Josh Manske won MCC Player of the Year honors before John Milne of Mount Mercy was named MCC Newcomer of the Year.

Boon will close the book on her decorated career when she travels to Link Hills Country Club in Greeneville, Tenn. for the 2012 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Women's Golf National Championships. Play gets underway on Tuesday, May 15 and concludes Friday, May. 18.
