According to the sophomore Bernie D’Amato, although they haven’t been able to perform the way they all wanted to, they will still look back at the fall season and realize that the performance wasn’t that bad. D’Amato is highly pleased with the team’s performance
and has plans on heading towards the Spring season with full zeal.

According, to Lovett-Woodsum, the weather conditions were fairly tough. The temperatures ranged between 30s and 40s while the wind speeds tended to follow the same attitude. The event held by the University of Rhode Island witnessed Woodsum scoring much
lower than the rest of the team in the tournament.
Where the men finished eighth, the women’s team grabbed the fourth place at the final tournament of the fall season. The Tigers played Harvard Tournament in a par-72 course in Bolton this week.
