Sydney Nethercott ‘24 turned in a dominant performance on Monday, Oct. 3, at Wintonbury Hills Golf Course in Bloomfield, Conn., leading the field by five strokes after Round 1 of the Hartford Women’s Invitational.

"I am extremely proud of the team and how they battled these past few days," said director of ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ Golf Doug Holub. "Fighting illness and the weather, they showed the strength that I always knew they had in them. This win is a product of consistent effort and will, as they continue to push us toward accomplishing the goals that we have set for our program."
