MADISON, S.D. -- For the third time this season and the sixth time in her Bruin career, junior Maria Pinedo has earned North Star Athletic Association Women's Golfer of the Week honors for her performance at last week's Nebraska Intercollegiate played at the 5,999-yard, par-72 Awarii Dunes Golf Club in Axtell, Neb.
