The nationally ranked Findlay junior Kniesly has earned athlete of the week league accolades for women's golf after her win at the Great Midwest Fall Preview.
Kniesly, from Logansport, Ind., helped the Oilers win the team aspect of the Fall Preview, winning by 13 shots in the standings.
Kniesly fired a 72 (E) on day one and found herself tied for the lead going into the final round of competition. The Junior then proceeded to shoot a 70 (-2) to finish the tournament at a 142 (-2). Her final round score of 70 was tied for the lowest round of the tournament.
The junior won by three shots over Malone's NCAA qualifier Christina Williams. The Oilers team score of 293 on day two puts them at the third lowest all-time score in league history for 18 holes.
Kniesly's 70 (-2) puts her at third all-time for the low individual women's score for 18 holes and her 36-hole score of 142 (-2) ties the record for the Great Midwest Conference.
Kniesly is now a three-time winner of conference athlete of the week honors after being named Great Midwest Freshman of the Year in 2017-18.
Findlay will have 11 days off before traveling to The Meadows in Allendale, Mich., to compete in the Gilda's Club Laker Invite.
