The men and women’s golf teams will kick off the spring season with tournaments on April 9 at Manhattanville and Vassar respectively. After ending their season in October for the winter, the men will compete in four separate tournaments over the month of April, culminating in the NESCAC championships on April 30. The women do not have a NESCAC championship event but rather, their total points for the fall are combined. Middlebury women came in second in NESCACs, and will spend the spring competing for a chance to attend the NCAA tournament.
During the fall season, the men’s team won the NESCAC qualifier securing Middlebury as the host for the NESCAC championship tournament, which will take place April 30 and May 1. Last year the team placed second at the NESCAC championships hosted by Williams. Brian Cady ’11 had the best Sunday score of the tournament, finishing the round with a score of 70. He and Jim Levins ’11 tied for second place for the weekend.
After the NESCAC qualifier in October, Cady was named NESCAC player of the year, and Rob Donahoe ’14 was named NESCAC rookie of the year. Levins, Cady and Donahoe will all be returning to finish off the season.
The women’s team finished off their season at Williams in October, placing third behind only Williams and Amherst. Flora Weeks ’12 and Keely Levins ’13 led the Panthers to tie for third place.
Last year, the team ended their season with a 10th place finish at the Williams Spring Invitational. Weeks also qualified for NCAAs where she tied for 14th place among 104 of the nations best golfers in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida.
