Bernardston, Mass. – Adelphi University claimed the 2009 Northeast-10 Men’s Golf Championship after shooting a two-day total of 620 at the Crumpin-Fox Golf Club in Bernardston, Mass. Adelphi will receive the automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA Championship this spring. The Panthers are in their first year of competition as a member of the Northeast-10.

Southern New Hampshire’s Shane Winslow (Portsmouth, N.H.) earned medalist honors after defeating Adelphi’s Stuart Pulkinen (Toronto, Canada) in a three-hole playoff. Both players shot par on the 10th hole (par-4) and the 11th hole (par-3) before Winslow shot par-4 on the 12th hole, while Pulkinen recorded a seven. Both players finished the two-day tournament with a score of 150. Winslow finished with a 78 on day two after shooting a tournament low 72 for par on day one.

Winslow became the first Penmen to win the Gordon McCullough Memoral Award (medalist) since Jeff Sullivan (2003). The Gordon McCullough Memorial Award was named for the late coach, a long-time member of the Univ. of Hartford Athletics program. McCullough was inducted into the Northeast-10 Inaugural Hall of Fame Class in 2006.

The College of Saint Rose’s Matt Horton (Troy, N.Y.) finished in a tie for third with Southern New Hampshire’s D.J. Lantz (New London, N.H.) pulling in a two-day score of 151. American International’s Greg Strattner (Westfield, Mass.) rounded out the top-five after recording a two-day score of 153 (75-78).

Other individual honors went to American International’s Colin Dansereau (Ludlow, Mass.) who was the top freshman finisher after shooting 75-80—155 to earn Freshman of the Year honors. Adelphi head coach Tim McAleer received Coach of the Year accolades.

American International as a team finished in second place with a total score of 623 as the Yellow Jackets recorded their highest ever finish in program history in the Northeast-10 Championship. Southern New Hampshire followed with a third place finish after shooting a two-day total of 632 as the Penmen closely edged out Le Moyne College by two strokes (634). Bentley University rounds out the top five with a score of 640.

The remaining team finishes are as follows with Saint Anselm College finishing in sixth place (641) followed by the University of Massachusetts Lowell with a score of 643. Pace University finished eighth with a score of 645 followed by Franklin Pierce University in ninth (656) and Assumption College in tenth (664), while Saint Michael’s College and the College of Saint Rose finished with scores of 670 and 678 respectively.

With 16 member institutions the Northeast-10 shares the distinction of being the largest Division II conference in the country along with the PSAC and WVIAC. Its 23 championship sports provide athletic opportunities for over 5,500 student-athletes, the largest such program of any Division II conference.
