AU’s Women’s Golf Team Rounds Out Their Fall Season

By Joseph D’Andrea


Coming off wins at the national and state levels early in October, Adelphi University’s women’s golf team’s progression continued to flourish.


On October 1, the team finished in third place at the annual Northeast-10 (NE-10) Championship at Blackstone National Golf Club in Sutton, Massachusetts, earning the title for the second consecutive year.


NE-10 is a college athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association at the Division II level, with participating institutions located in the northeastern U.S.: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. 


Standout players for the Panthers were first-years Ivory Drusch and Adaline Ochoa, and sophomores Filippa Schulze Doering and Jenny Kim. Sophomore Lauren Jaskier also helped in the effort, rounding out the Panthers’ scorecard with a two-day score of 179.

The team also won the Hawk Invitational at Derryfield Country Club in Manchester, New Hampshire, from Oct. 7 to Oct. 8., in which Schulze Doering took home her first-ever individual championship and the team earned a team championship this fall season.


The Panthers finished ahead of the four-team competition by 24 strokes with a total score of 82-over 642. Schulze Doering’s win came after she coasted seven strokes after tallying an eight and six-over par in each round respectively.


The NE-10 accolades continued with Drusch winning the conference’s Rookie of the Week Award, announced on October 16 following her performance at the Hawk Invitational. She shot a nine-over 79 in round two for the second-best round of any competitor on the course, second only to Schulze Doering. Drusch received the same award earlier in the season in her first eligible week.


They continued to compete, participating in the Division I Tournament with four other institutions at the Wagner Fall Classic on October 18. in Staten Island. They played 18 holes, tallying a 54-over 342 and finished in fourth place, with Jaskier continuing her impressive season, finishing in the top six with a 10-over 82.


Rounding out the fall season with a trip to Connecticut’s University of Hartford on October 28, the team finished in second place at the Battle at Bull's Bridge, held at Bull's Bridge Golf Club.


Schulze Doering was tied at the top of the leaderboard with three Merrimack College golfers after they all shot a six-over 78, marking her second first-place finish this fall.


Kim slotted in at seventh, tallying an 11-over 81, only one stroke behind sixth, and making a mark with her two birdies on holes six and 17. Drusch would also net a birdie on hole 17.

On October 30, it was announced that Schulze Doering won the NE-10 Player of the Week Award, coming after her showing at Battle at Bull's Bridge hosted by University of Hartford.


Off the course, Jaskier was one of the seven athletes to give back to the community, interacting with a small class at the Early Learning Center on campus which was learning to identify sports and equipment.


“Spending time with the kids is a rewarding way to mentor, inspire and help them develop teamwork and sportsmanship skills from a young age,” she told the Adelphi Athletics page.


The women’s golf team will return to play in the spring season. Visit AUPanthers.com for more information on the women's golf program.
