Overall, it was another good week for both the men and women. I’m very pleased with the girls’ effort again this week – earning their second win in a row. The guys played pretty well, too, especially the second team.”

“Overall, it was another good week for both the men and women,” coach Zach Smith said. “I’m very pleased with the girls’ effort again this week – earning their second win in a row. The guys played pretty well, too, especially the second team. I think the depth this year on the guys’ team should provide some good competition within the team. Qualifying has been tight, which I hope leads to the guys working harder and harder on their game.”

Five Lady Lancers broke into the top 10 at Northeastern, led by Jessica Applegarth and Elliann Irick in a tie for fifth place at 176 strokes. Applegarth shot 88 on both Thursday and Friday. Irick tallied 89 strokes in the first round, progressing to 87 in the second.
