IRVING — Julie Houston was named Conference USA Co-Player of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday.
Houston tied for 12th place to lead the Roadrunners to a ninth-place tie at the Dallas Athletic Club/SMU Invitational last weekend. Competing in a field with eight nationally ranked teams and 16 ranked individuals, the Allen native carded a 5-over-par 221 (75-72-74) in registering her fifth top-15 finish of her debut season. Her performance helped UTSA tie with No. 16 Iowa State and No. 25 Texas Tech with a 909 in the 16-team field.
It marked the third weekly honor for Houston, as she also was named C-USA Player of the Week on Feb.
