Bernardston, Mass. – Adelphi University claimed the 2009
Northeast-10 Men’s Golf Championship after shooting a two-day
total of 620 at the Crumpin-Fox Golf Club in Bernardston, Mass.
Adelphi will receive the automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA
Championship this spring. The Panthers are in their first year of
competition as a member of the Northeast-10.
Southern New Hampshire’s Shane Winslow
(Portsmouth, N.H.) earned medalist honors after
defeating Adelphi’s Stuart Pulkinen (Toronto,
Canada) in a three-hole playoff. Both players shot
par on the 10th hole (par-4) and the 11th hole (par-3) before
Winslow shot par-4 on the 12th hole, while Pulkinen recorded a
seven. Both players finished the two-day tournament with a score of
150. Winslow finished with a 78 on day two after shooting a
tournament low 72 for par on day one.
Winslow became the first Penmen to win the Gordon McCullough
Memoral Award (medalist) since Jeff Sullivan (2003). The Gordon
McCullough Memorial Award was named for the late coach, a long-time
member of the Univ. of Hartford Athletics program. McCullough was
inducted into the Northeast-10 Inaugural Hall of Fame Class in
2006.
The College of Saint Rose’s Matt Horton (Troy,
N.Y.) finished in a tie for third with Southern New
Hampshire’s D.J. Lantz (New London,
N.H.) pulling in a two-day score of 151. American
International’s Greg Strattner (Westfield,
Mass.) rounded out the top-five after recording a
two-day score of 153 (75-78).

accolades.
