Marli Mikulecky, a senior with the Eastern Washington University women's golf team, has been named second team All-Big Sky Conference. The set of honors is her second, as she earned first-team accolades a year ago.

She has posted an average round of 78.8 this year, good enough to place her among the 10 best golfers in the Big Sky this year. She also had an impressive .633 winning percentage throughout the 2008-09 campaign (269-156).

The Osoyoos, B.C., native earned Big Sky Golfer of the Week accolades on Oct. 1 after tying for 20th place at the CU Heather Farr Memorial Invitational with a 218 (75-73-70), the third-lowest three-round score in school history.

Her 70 in the final round of that tournament hosted by Omni Interlocken Resort Golf Club in Broomfield, Colo., is tied for the sixth-lowest in Eagle annals.

Mikulecky and the Eagles will play in the Big Sky Championship from Monday-Wednesday (April 20-22) at the Ocotillo Golf Club in Chandler, Ariz.

Eastern Washington has now had 11 Eagles honored by the Big Sky over the past seven years.
