ROMEOVILLE - Freshman Jamie Siedlaczek of the Lewis University women's golf team, who tied for 10th place and led the Flyers at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship, has been named GLVC co-Freshman of the Year.

Siedlaczek fired a season-best 3-over-par 75 in Sunday's GLVC Championship final round to finish with a 36-hole total of 157. The 75 was the fifth-best score of the second round in the 60-player field.

Siedlaczek tied for second in scoring on the par-3 holes (-1) and tied for the second-highest number of birdies (five), helping Lewis place third in the field with 15 birdies. The Flyers finished seventh in the team standings but were just five strokes out of fourth place.

Siedlaczek, the team leader in six of Lewis' seven tournaments, concluded the fall season as the Flyers' scoring leader with an 81.89 average in nine rounds. She tied for first at the Carroll College Invitational, tied for second at Elmhurst College's Lady Bluejay Classic and placed fourth at the University of St. Francis Invitational.
