The team, which finished 7-7, showed great improvement over their past few seasons, where they finished 0-14, 0-14, and 5-9. Led by a talented roster and fueled by dedication, the team displayed remarkable performances throughout the season, leaving a mark in the GMC golf scene. 

            Sophomore Daniel Schlager, a rising star on the team, expressed his enthusiasm for the season’s progression, highlighting memorable moments such as their victory over Colonia. “Most of us there that day played well, especially me going one over. We beat them by two strokes. That’s probably the team’s best game,” remarked Schlager.
