ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Junior women's golfer Breanne Neufeld (Coaldale, Alberta/Kate Andrews) has been named one of 10 Missouri Valley Conference Good Neighbor Award recipients, according to an announcement by the league office Thursday.

An All-Missouri Valley Conference performer this season, she led the Braves with a school season record 76.1 stroke average.  Neufeld was a three-time MVC Golfer of the Week selection in 2009-10 and was a four-time pick for the Bradley Country Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week.  Her 76.1 stroke average ranked third in the Missouri Valley Conference and broke the Bradley season stroke average mark of 76.62 previously held by Meaghan LeBlanc.

In addition to leading the team, Neufeld's 24 rounds in the 70's tied for the second best season total in school history.  She won medalist honors at the Duramed MAC Preview and posted a team-leading six top 10 finishes during the season. 

An English major, Neufeld owns a 3.41 cumulative grade point average and has been named to the Bradley Athletic Director's Honor Roll four of her first five semesters at BU.  She enters her senior year fourth in school history with a 79.0 career stroke average and her 46 career rounds in the 70's are fourth all-time at Bradley.

Off the course, Neufeld has served as a member of the Braves Council in addition to working on the Bradley Student Advisory Committee.  Some of her community service projects include taking part in the Missouri Valley Conference Just Read! program and she also has helped with Bradley's Buddy with the Braves program.

In an effort to honor model student-athletes, the Missouri Valley Conference has partnered with State Farm Insurance in creating the MVC Good Neighbor Award. In order to be eligible for the award, the student-athlete must be in good academic standing, must demonstrate good citizenship through good sportsmanship and significant community service and must participate in a sport during the season of recognition. The Valley will recognize 10 student-athletes three times annually (fall, winter, spring) for a total of 30 honorees each school year.
