Northern Kentucky University Norse women’s golf student-athlete Eva Maley was recognized on Apr. 30 with two Horizon League awards, earning the Sportsmanship Award and being named to the All-League Second Team.
These honors highlight Maley’s contributions both on and off the course during the 2025-26 season. The awards recognize her leadership, dedication, and performance throughout a competitive year for Northern Kentucky University’s women’s golf program.
“Eva’s leadership skills, dedication to the team, and natural talent for the game make her a valuable member of our program,” said NKU assistant Women’s Golf coach Melissa Yeazell. “We are proud of her efforts look forward to watching her grow on and off the golf course.”
Maley, a sophomore from Erlanger, Kentucky, participated in 27 rounds across 10 events this season with an average score of 77.9. She finished second at the Julie Invitational in 2026 with a ten-over score—one of three top-ten finishes for her this year. Additionally, she placed fifth out of 64 competitors at the NKU Women’s Spring Fling in March and secured sixth place at the Horizon League Championships while helping lead Northern Kentucky to third place as a team.
The full list of Horizon League award winners includes recognitions for both men’s and women’s golfers across several categories such as Golfer of the Year, Freshman of the Year, Coach of the Year, All-League First Team selections, All-League Second Team selections, and additional sportsmanship awards.
