BLOOMFIELD, Conn. – Suffolk women's golf locked up a second-place performance at the 2025 Northeast Women's Golf Championship over the weekend at the Wintonbury Hills Country Club.
The two-day tournament that was scheduled to be 36 holes, two rounds of 18, was cut down to 27 as some of the 11 teams were unable to complete action on day one of competition.
It was a back-and-forth battle between the Rams and SUNY Cortland for the conference crown. The Rams, who trailed the Red Dragons by three strokes after day one, continuously battled back and sat in first throughout the second day of action. SUNY Cortland managed to seal up the win in the final two holes and Suffolk slipped to second behind a team card of 512, just two strokes behind Cortland.
Ella Torsleff helped Suffolk's runner-up finish. The junior garnered individual medalist honors with a two-round score of 117. After day one, the Bozeman, Montana local sat in a share of third place with Nazareth's BethanY Wineburg. On Sunday, the Rams' captain compiled a 77, to climb two spots and sole posession of the individual crown.
Torsleff is the third Ram I program history to take home NWGC Individual Medalist honors, second straight as Ellie Yarborough earned the feat a year ago.
Torsleff's co-captain Brooke Bugajewski locked up a share of third. The Bloomfield Hill, Michigan native held a share of fifth after day one with teammate Krisna Mahendran behind a 41. Suffolk's sophomore was the second-best golfer on the course on Sunday behind as she shot an 80 to finish with a 121 to tie SUNY Cortland's Sophie Oristian for third in the 52-golfer field.
Mahendran made the most of her NWGC Championship debut as she finished sixth with a 130.
For their efforts, Torsleff, Bugajewski and Mahendran all locked up All-NWGC honors. With finishes in the top five, Torsleff and Bugajewski were named to the first-team, while Mahendran secured a spot on the second team. Torsleff and Bugajewski earned the distinction for the second time in their careers and in as many seasons. The former repeated on the first-team, while the latter picked up a spot on the first-team for the first time in her collegiate career.
Emory Goodson and Clare Stackpole-McGrath rounded out the Rams on the course as the Rams' rookies shared 24th with one another with a 146.
