NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Freshman Anthony Garcia of the La Salle men's golf team has been selected as the Atlantic 10 Conference Rookie of the Week for the week ending April 19, the league announced.
 
Garcia earned his second straight A-10 honor after placing seventh while leading La Salle to a tie for seventh place at the 20th annual Abarta Coca-Cola Collegiate Invitational on Sunday and Monday at Northampton Country Club's par-72 course. Last week, the freshman was named the conference's Golfer of the Week for his performance at the Wildcat Invitational.
 
Garcia shot a 1-under-par 143 in the two-day tournament. After carding a 1-under 71 in the first round Sunday, the freshman shot an even-par 72 in Monday's final round.
 
Garcia's seventh-place finish gave him his second consecutive top-10 finish and this third top-10 finish overall this spring.
 
The Explorers will return to action on April 28-30 when they compete in the Atlantic 10 Championship at Reunion Resort & Golf Club in Orlando, Fla.
