Chang is SBART Athlete of the Week

SBCC's Carolin Chang has been named Athlete of the Week by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table after capturing her second straight CCCAA State individual women's golf title on Nov. 13-14 at Morro Bay Golf Course.

The sophomore from Tainan, Taiwan shot 72 and 69 for a 3-under 141 that tied her with playing partner Nao Brando (72-69) of Sierra. Chang won a scorecard playoff by shooting 3-under on the back nine.

She was the first repeat State champion in 20 years. Chang tied the all-time low score by an individual champion while winning her 10th tourney this year and 18th of her career. Jenny Lee of Canyons shot 3-under-par in 2007.

The Vaqueros finished second to Sierra, which shot a blazing 291 on the final day. SBCC won 14 straight tournaments before their loss in the State Finals and finished with a 99-1 record.

Chang will continue her college career at Cal State East Bay.
