Women's Golf Finishes 10th At Shortened ECAC Championships

Egg Harbor, NJ –
With the fall's ECAC Championship Tournament being cut short to a 27-hole event, the Wagner women's golf team brought home a 10th place finish in the 14 team field that played a challenging Twisted Dunes Country Club course in Egg Harbor, New Jersey.

With the Seahawks finishing up their 27th hole of the tournament, PGA pro Scott Dunn, of Twisted Dune Golf Club, viewed the course conditions as worsening. Watering was beginning to pool on greens and continued to worsen in the fairways and on tee boxes, with the weather forecast not likely to improve or stop raining the tournament officials decided to suspend play, scoring only the school's first 27 completed holes.

Miko Page (Brooklyn, NY) put up the Seahawks best round, shooting an opening day score of 84, before putting up a three-over 39 in the next day's first nine holes. The sophomore ended the event in a tie for 16th place, recording her second Top-20 finish in as many events.

“Miko was only four-over par through 15 holes on Monday when play was called,” assistant coach Christopher Fourman said. “As it stands now, she placed in the Top-20, but if she would have had the opportunity to finish in the worsening conditions I am confident she would have posted a 76 or 77, which would have secured her a top-10 finish among a talented field of golfers.”

Freshman Ellen Huffman (Lima, OH) also finished in the top half of the field for the Green and White, shooting an 85 on day one, followed by a 44 in the nine-hole round. Huffman's final score of 129 placed her in a tie for 34th place on the weekend.

Keri Muse (Sterling, VA), Dena Smith (Highland Heights, OH) and Kaitlin Osmundsen (Staten Island, NY) all ended the event within four shot of each other, with Muse shooting a 134 (85-49), Smith putting up a 135 (92-43) and Osmundsen rounding out the five-golfer team with a 137 (94-43).

Wagner's four-golfer score for the 27-hole event totaled 515, which was 27 shots off the lead. Sacred Heart took home the team title, shooting a four-golfer score of 478, while Dartmouth's Sarah Knapp won the individual award with a 109 (74-35).

The Seahawks have the holiday weekend off, before making the short trip over to New Jersey for the Rutgers Invitational which begins on October 14th.
