TOP PERFORMANCES
  • Adelphi had four golfers finish in the Top 10 on the first day of the NE10 Men's Golf Championship at Twin Hills Country Club, as it takes a dominant 14-stroke lead into the final 18 holes on Tuesday over two-time reigning champion Southern New Hampshire (SNHU). 
  • Adelphi's Mitchell Archer carded a two-under (140) through 36 holes to lead the 42-player field. His best round came on the second 18 where he shot a two-under (69). He is closely followed by teammate Domenick Caponi, who is tied for third at even par (142). 
  • SNHU's Andrew Surprenant had the best 18-hole score, shooting a four-under (67) on the second 18 on Monday to jump into second place on the individual leaderboard. His round included one eagle and two birdies. 

KEY MOMENTS
  • Adelphi shot three-over (287) as a team in the first round on Monday, followed by an even better performance of even-par in the second round to maintain its 14-shot lead over SNHU. Three golfers finished under par for the Panthers in the second round, led by Archer and Caponi, who both shot two-under (69). 
  • Surprenant bounced back from a three-over (74) to start the day by carding a four-under (67), which is tied for the ninth-best round in NE10 Championship history. Surprenant is already the holder of the best single round in Championship history, shooting a 65 last year at Candia Woods.

GAME NOTES
  • Adelphi led all teams with 40 birdies on Monday, with the next closest team being Assumption at 25. 
  • Adelphi looks to clinch its sixth NE10 Championship title on Tuesday and its first since 2023. 
  • The winngest margin by a team at the NE10 Championship is 24 strokes by Bryant (1981) in the pre-2000 era and 20 strokes by Bryant (2004) in the post-2000 era. Adelphi leads by 14 shots with 18 holes to play.
