“Congratulations to Anne O’Leary for her runner-up
finish,” Coach Herman said, “We battled and had amazing
consistency as a team for shooting the same score [337] both days.
I don’t think we took as much advantage as we could have for
playing on our home course but we played hard and it’s great
to be the NESCAC Champions; it’s been a really good fall."
