Short Story: The University at Albany women's golf team saw its season come to a close with a second-place finish at the 2021 MAAC Golf Championship. Sunday's final round was reduced to nine holes due to weather, squashing any chance of a comeback for the Great Danes early in the day. The team finished with a total score of +48, falling to Quinnipiac (+30) by 18 strokes and beating out third-place Dayton (+55) by seven strokes. Graduate student Megan Henry led the team after finishing tied for seventh place, followed by freshman Amber Thornton securing her own top-10 finish in ninth.

Coach Colleen Cashman-McSween: "I would definitely say that everyone is disappointed we didn't bring home the championship. Sadly, the day was cut short because of the weather, so it didn't really give us a chance to make up ground today. We didn't make enough birdies to balance out the high scores we made. But, I'm very proud of Megan and Amber for leading the team and making the All-Conference team. This was a very challenging year, both fall and spring dealing with COVID-19 issues and multiple tests per week. I'm super proud to say that we didn't have one positive test during either semester in session. So even though we didn't bring home the trophy, for us to be able to have traveled this spring and play the MAAC Championship at Disney World, I feel like it was a win in a way. Just makes us want to work harder for next season!"

Key Notes:

• Henry finished in a tie for seventh place after posting a final score of +10. The graduate student from Epping, Essex, finishes her collegiate career with another top-10 finish at the MAAC Championship. Henry shot +4 in today's final round, shooting an even par on holes three through nine.
• Thornton completes her first year as a Great Dane with a top-10 finish at her first MAAC Championship. The rookie finished with a total score of +11 after shooting +2 in the final round.
• Freshman Katelin Richards started her first MAAC Championship with a tough outing on Friday, but used her last two rounds to rebound nicely and finish in a tie for 13^th with a total score of +14. Richards led the Great Danes in round three, finishing just one shot over par through nine holes this afternoon.
