ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Senior Ethan Brue (Chandlerville, Ill./AC Central/Illinois Central) has been named Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week according to an announcement by the league office, sharing the honor with Northern Iowa's Sam DeBartolo.

Brue opened the 2017-18 season just like he began the 2016-17; by claiming medalist honors at the Crusader Collegiate played at the par-72 Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Ind. The defending Crusader Collegiate medalist, Brue defended his crown with a win in the 2017 event as he edged Loyola's Orion Yamat by two strokes for top individual honors.

Brue found himself down a stroke after an opening round 74, but turned in a one-under 71 in the second round and held a commanding seven-shot advantage on the field after 36 holes. A final round two-over 74 helped Brue hold off Yamat, who carded a two-under 69 Wednesday to finish two shots behind Brue's 54-hole 219. The individual title was the fourth win as a Brave for Brue as he matched Lyle Burns (2014-16) school career record of four medalist honors.

The MVC Golfer of the Week honor is the fourth of Brue's short time on The Hilltop as he became just the third four-time MVC Golfer of the Week winner in program history. He joined an exclusive list which includes Burns, who won the award five times, along with four-time winner Seth Trolia.

Brue and the Bradley men's golf team return to action Sept. 25 & 26 at the Derek Dolenc Invitational in Madison, Ill.
