NEW HAVEN, Conn. - - A pair of Wilmington University golfers were named Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Players of the Week after leading the team to a second place finish at the Dixie State Island Invite earlier this week.

Senior Joey Russo was named the CACC Player of the Week for a fourth place finish while freshman Sergio Ronchel Salas was named the CACC Rookie of the Week for finishing tied for 10^th overall.

Russo (Sewell, N.J.) moved up three spots on the leaderboard with a 71 (-1) second round score on Monday. He finished fourth overall with a 73-71 for a 144 (E) in the two rounds.

Ronchel (Huelva, Spain) finished tied for 10^th, but had the best individual round of the tournament. He posted a first round 80 on Monday morning, but came back to shoot a 67 (-5) in the afternoon to jump 14 spots on the leaderboard. He finished with a 147 (+3) in the rain-shortened tournament.

The third and final round of the tournament was cancelled due to rains on the Big Island, putting the Wildcats in second overall. They shot a tournament low 284 in the second round, finishing with a 295-284 for a 579 (+3) for the day.

The Wildcats remain in Hawaii for another tournament this weekend, taking part in the Dennis Rose Intercollegiate at the Waikoloa Kings' Course in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
