Head Coach
Tomas Adalsteinsson reacts, "We didn't play well as a team this weekend. We didn't hit enough greens, and we wasted too many shots on and around the greens. On the brighter side, Maryanne did well playing as an individual, and it shows that we have a lot of talent on our roster. We need to use the time well in the next two weeks to get ready for the NESCAC championship."
The next event for the Ephs is the NESCAC Spring Championships, hosted at our very own Taconic Golf Club. Come out to support the team on May 4th and 5th as they look to reclaim their conference title.Â
