OKLAHOMA CITY (Oct. 10, 2021) – Recording his first tournament win a week after a disappointing finish earned Oklahoma Christian golfer Alejandro Armijo recognition Sunday as the Eagle of the Week.

Armijo, a junior from Rio Rancho, N.M., recorded his first win at the NCAA Division II level on Monday and Tuesday in the Division II South Central-West Regional Preview at Pueblo Country Club in Pueblo, Colo. He posted a 3-under-par 68 on the opening day before firing a bogey-free 66 in the final round to finish at 8-under 134, atop a 100-man field.

A week after recording a double bogey on his final hole at Shangri-La Golf Club in Monkey Island, which cost him a share of the win in the Missouri Southern Fall Invitational, Armijo drained a clutch 18-foot par putt on No. 18 on Tuesday to preserve his one-shot win in Colorado.

In becoming the 24th OC player to record at least one tournament win, Armijo helped the 14th-ranked Eagles to an eight-shot win in the 19-team field. It was the program's 75th all-time win.

Others considered for Eagle of the Week this week included:

-- Kenya Bailey, women's cross country, who posted her third top-two individual finish of the season, placing second in the Tiger Open, hosted by Fort Hays State (Kan.), with a career-best time of 17:47.09 over 5,000 meters;

-- Gabby Goddard, women's soccer, who extended her scoreless streak in goal to more than 296 minutes and recorded her third shutout of the season, making eight saves in a 0-0 draw with Midwestern State (Texas) on Wednesday;

-- Cheyenne Parks, women's swimming, who won individual races in three different disciplines (1,000-yard freestyle, 200 backstroke, 200 individual medley) in OC dual meets on Friday at Henderson State (Ark.) and on Saturday at Ouachita Baptist (Ark.);

-- Hannah Rouse, volleyball, who recorded a career-high 18 kills – including three in the decisive fifth set – and seven digs to lead OC to a 3-2 win over Western New Mexico on Saturday, following a nine-kill, eight-dig effort in a loss on Friday to Texas-Permian Basin;

-- Brandon Heredia, men's swimming, who won three individual event races during the duals at Henderson State and Ouachita Baptist;

-- John Osadolor Ighede, men's soccer, who recorded a brace for OC as the Eagles pushed No. 11-ranked Midwestern State in a 3-2, two-overtime loss on the road.

The Eagle of the Week award recognizes the top performer in OC athletics for the previous week. The honor is presented each week at least one OC athletic team is in competition.
