Velilla and Folmar Named Bulldogs of the Week

WEATHERFORD – Maria Velilla (women's golf) and Garrett Folmar (baseball) have been named the Bulldogs of the Week, presented by Wright Media — the official partner for SWOSU athletic livestreams and radio broadcasts.

Velilla (Calatayud, Spain) earned her third Great American Conference Women's Golfer of the Week honor this season following a top-three finish at the Southern Invitational. She tied for third overall after improving her score in each of the tournament's three rounds, highlighted by a one-under 71 in the final round.

Folmar (Wichita Falls, Texas) earned the win in relief against No. 23-ranked Harding in the series opener. Entering for an injured starter, he delivered 5.2 strong innings, allowing just one run and no extra-base hits while striking out five. SWOSU went on to walk off the Bisons 4-3, securing Folmar's first win of the season.
