Coach John O'Connor Announces Spring Slate
HAMDEN, Conn. – Quinnipiac women's golf coach John O'Connor has announced the Bobcats' schedule for the Spring 2020 season. Quinnipiac will compete in five tournaments in preparation for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship on Apr. 24-26 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
"I'm excited for the spring season and preparing for what should be five very competitive tournaments followed by our MAAC Championship at Disney's Magnolia Course," said O'Connor. "Having four tournaments in the South, followed by one tournament at the Hartford Invitational in April, should give us plenty of opportunities to fine-tune our game but also give us some good competition and chances to win."
