MVC Golf Weekly Honors - 9-10-26


Men's Golfer of the Week:  Carter Stevenson, Bradley
Women's Golfer of the Week:  Jillian Cosler, Bradley

Stevenson opened the 2026-27 season with a joint runner-up finish at the ANF Fall Classic, hosted by the University of Iowa, in Riverside, Iowa. The senior from Marquette Heights, Ill., tied for second with an eight-under-par 208 (73-66-69) after a thrilling final-round battle at the top of the leaderboard that saw six golfers battling for medalist honors. Stevenson tied his career-best 18-hole score in the tournament's second round, carding a six-under-par 66 with nine birdies across Tuesday and Wednesday (the round was suspended due to darkness on Tuesday night and completed Wednesday morning). The finish, which is the best of his career, marks the 12th time he has finished in the top 10 and the 21st time he has finished within the top 20. His 12 career top-10 finishes move him into a tie for sixth all-time in program history. As a team, Bradley finished 10th of 14 teams with a team score of 1,125 (381-373-371).

Cosler began the 2026-27 season finishing tied for fourth at the A-Ga-Ming Invitational, hosted by Central Michigan, in Kewadin, Mich. The senior from Orland Park, Ill., carded an even-par 216 for the tournament, capped by a two-under-par 70 in the final round on Sept. 7. The top-10 finish is the ninth of her career, leading all active Braves. The fourth-place finish also marks her best since she placed third at the 2025 Coyote Creek Classic. Cosler led the Braves to a tied-for-third-place finish out of 13 teams with a score of 898 (298-297-303).
