Lehigh University’s women’s golf team secured a solid mid-pack finish at the Rutgers Invitational, providing a vital final tune-up before the high-stakes Patriot League Championship.
Competing at the Rutgers University Golf Course, the Mountain Hawks demonstrated remarkable consistency across the 54-hole tournament. The team carded a final-round 322 to finish with a three-day total of 968, mirroring their opening-round effort and placing them in a tie for 11th in a competitive 16-team field.
Crucially, Lehigh finished level with fellow Patriot League rivals Boston University, setting the stage for a tight battle when the conference title is on the line next week.
While the squad battled through the technical demands of the course, Bermuda’s Sienna Mosquera was a notable presence on the sidelines. The sophomore, who has been a key part of the program's development, watched on as her teammates navigated the final 18 holes. Her support from the gallery comes at a pivotal moment, with the team looking to sharpen their short game ahead of their post-season debut.
The Mountain Hawks' scoring pattern (322-324-322) suggests a team capable of holding their nerve under pressure, a trait they will undoubtedly need as they transition into championship mode. With the Rutgers Invitational now in the books, the focus shifts entirely to the Patriot League Championship, where the lessons learned this weekend will be put to the ultimate test.
