" I am extremely proud of all three of our players performances throughout the weekend. They had to get up both mornings at 4:30 in the morning to be able to participate in this competition. We were the first team on the range hitting balls in the fog. Their dedication to the game of golf and Albright College clearly was on display today!", Said an overjoyed
