FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Franklin Pierce Leads with Five All-Conference Honorees.
MANSFIELD, Mass. – Franklin Pierce's Kesinee Prukmathakul swept both Northeast-10 Conference Player and Rookie of the Year honors for women's golf, as the freshman sensation led the announcement of All-Conference awards on Wednesday afternoon.
Prukmathakul becomes the third-straight Franklin Pierce golfer to earn Player of the Year status, following in the footsteps of Jinnapat Rittawee (2019-20) and Zoey Yamamoto (2020-21). She is only the second NE10 player to earn Player and Rookie honors in the same season, joining Rittawee with the distinction.
All eight NE10 women's golf institutions had at least one player earn All-Conference honors, including a league-high five from reigning three-time league champion Franklin Pierce. Ravens' head coach Tyler Bishop also earned NE10 Coach of the Year for the second-consecutive season.
Prukmathakul was a rookie standout in her first season at Franklin Pierce, shooting a 146 (+2) to earn individual medalist honors at the NE10 Women's Golf Championship at the Beaver Meadow Golf Course last October. She also tied for 12th at the NCAA East Regional – the highest finish of any Franklin Pierce golfer – shooting a 226 (+13) over three rounds. She was also a First Team All-Conference selection.
Bishop led the Ravens to their third-straight league championship and their fourth in the past five seasons in the fall of 2021. Bishop also took his program to the NCAA East Regional for the second-straight season (third time overall) and oversaw the success of Prukmathakul – as well as Phisonlaya Ruayruen (First Team), Alia Godek (Second Team), Micaela Leandro (Second Team) and Kayla Schuberth (Second Team).
