Oct. 12, 2010

NEWPORT NEWS, VA - La Salle freshman Mike Johnson has been named the Atlantic 10 Golf Rookie of the Week, the conference office announced today. Johnson made five birdies in the final round of the Big 5 Invitational and recorded 35's on the front and back nine for an even par 70 to finish in a tie for 26th after shooting a 7-over, 147 (77-70).

Counting a pair of birdies he made to finish the first round, Johnson played the final 20 holes two-under par. The 70 was the lowest score posted by an Explorer since John Lorenzo carded a school-record 68 to win the Rehoboth Beach Invitational on September 26, 2006.

The Ambler, PA (Hatboro-Horsham) native also recorded a top-10 finish in leading La Salle to the team title at the Swarthmore Invitational in Wilmington, Del. Johnson's 7-over par, 78 was good for a seventh place finish out 76 total participants.

La Salle wraps up its fall season on Tuesday at the Philadelphia University Invitational.
