GREENSBORO – Senior Ekaterina Prokhorova is starting to set the standard for greatness for the North Carolina A&T women's golf program. On Wednesday, the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) named Prokhorova its women's golfer of the week. It marks the third time this fall Prokhorova has won the award.
No other A&T golfer, men or women, has won three career weekly honors. Prokhorova won the accolade this week on the strength of her winning the 2025 SAS HBCU Invitational at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, NC, over the weekend. Prokhorova shot a 4-over 214 to lead the Aggies to the team win over North Carolina Central University (NCCU).
Prokhorova won the tournament by strokes over senior teammate Polina Marina, becoming the second straight Aggie to win the SAS HBCU Invitational after senior teammate Tori Mouton won the event last season. Prokhorova has made it a point this fall to obliterate the A&T women's golf program's record book. She carded six birdies over the two-day, three-round event.
Her win over the weekend marked the third time she has produced medalist honors in the last five events she has played, dating back to last season's PGA Works title to close out the spring. In one of those five tournaments, the Elon Invitational in September, she finished in fourth place to earn co-CAA Women's Golfer of the Week accolades.
Prokhorova's three career tournament wins tie her with Christyn Carr for the program record. At the Bridgewater HBCU Invitational earlier this season, Prokhorova toppled five program records and tied one on her way to winning CAA Women's Golfer of the Week, including the lowest 54-hole score (202) and the largest margin of victory (18 strokes).
She also shot a 67 in the first round to tie Paris Fielding's program record. The seven birdies she converted in the final round of the Bridgewater HBCU Invitational are also a record, along with her 18 birdies for the tournament. By winning the Bridgewater HBCU Invitational, she became the first Aggie to win back-to-back tournaments.
"Ekaterina shows day in and day out her focus and commitment to be great on and off the golf course," said Mesha Levister, A&T's director of golf. "She continues to power through and help drive us to higher heights. I'm extremely proud of her for continuing to push herself and everyone else around her."
Prokhorova and the Aggies return to action on Monday, October 20, when they compete in UNC Greensboro's UNCG Collegiate hosted by UNCG at Forest Oaks Country Club in Greensboro, NC.
