“I am excited about the three new players who will be joining our golf team in the fall,” said McLaughlin. “With the graduation of two of our top scoring players, Kristina D’Angela and Cassie Lowell, I knew it was important to add some recruits who could have an immediate positive impact on our program. Ifirmly believe that all three of these ladies have the capability of doing so.”
