Ravens Match Largest Margin of Victory in NE10 History.
CONCORD, N.H. – Franklin Pierce captured its third-consecutive Northeast-10 Conference Women's Golf Championship on Sunday, cruising to victory with a league-record score of 616 (+40) to outpace the field by a remarkable 51 strokes – matching a league-best set by Merrimack in the fall of 2015.
The Ravens finished ahead of Le Moyne (+91, 667) and Assumption (+95, 671) at the Beaver Meadow Golf Course, on their way to their fourth NE10 title in program history – which ties a league record set by Merrimack.
Freshman Kesinee Prukmathakul continued her fall dominance for the Ravens by earning individual medalist honors in the Championship. Her second round score of 68 was one shot off the NE10 record set by Franklin Pierce's Camden Morrison in 2017, as she totaled a +2 (78-68--146) over the 36-hole tournament.
Prukmathakul was joined on the All-Championship Team by her teammate Alia Godek, who carded a +7 (151) to finish in third place. Southern New Hampshire senior Anna Casagrande placed second with a +4 (148) to finish just two strokes off the lead.
Saint Rose sophomore Erika Fuentes – who led the field after Saturday's first round with a score of 74 – finished fourth (+8, 152) and Adelphi sophomore Ilaria Ponziani was fifth (+11, 155) to round-out the All-Championship Team.
All five Franklin Pierce golfers finished in the top 15 on the leaderboard, while the Ravens also led all programs in pars (97) and birdies (18) for the Championship. Franklin Pierce had a 19-stroke advantage over the field in the first round and a 32-stroke lead in the second round, resulting in the large margin of victory under head coach Tyler Bishop.
Le Moyne junior Madeline Ferris was named the Elite 24 Award winner, after earning a 3.974 GPA as a biology major. The Elite 24 honors the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA at the finals site of each NE10 Championship.
