The Keuka College Women’s Golf team finished eighth out of nine teams at the Northeast Women’s Golf Conference Fall Classic at Van Patten Golf Club on Friday.

The Wolves combined to shoot a 436 as a team finishing ahead of Westfield State in the standings.

Olivia Hatch (Elmira, N.Y. / Horseheads) led the Wolves with a career-low 92 on Friday. The first-year student-athlete finished 19th out of the 50-golfer field.

Behind her was Chloe Pouthier (Rochester, N.Y. / Chesterton Academy of Rochester) who also shot a career-low tournament score. The graduate student shot a 108 at the Fall Classic, one stroke lower than her previous best score in an 18-hole tournament. Her round included a birdie on the par three sixth, the only birdie for the Wolves on Friday.

Kendall Shepherd (Bunker Hill, W. Va. / Musselman) shot a 114 to finish 41st. She moved to fifth on the career wins list at Keuka College when measuring their result against the field. Shepherd now has 177 wins against the field in just her third semester of competition.

With the forecasted weather, Friday was the last round of the fall season for the Wolves. The Green and Gold will be back in action in April 2025 as they prepare for the Northeast Women’s Golf Conference Championship.
