Golden Bears look to continue trend, compete for PSAC women's title

Heading into its ninth season, the Kutztown University women’s golf program continues to improve, and with the addition of a women’s golf division in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, the Golden Bears will look to contend for their first women’s title.

Every year, the Golden Bears have lowered their scores, including last season’s school-best mark of 339.8 per round (top four golfers). It was a 10 stroke improvement from the 2006-07 season and better than a 60-stroke improvement from 2000-01, the first year for women’s golf at KU.

“We should be able to do the same thing this year,” KU head coach Robert Fisher said.

Tressler, who averaged an 85.5, also had a tournament win, claiming the Hofstra Invitational, shooting an 81 and an 82 for a two-day total of 163. She was 25th at the PSAC tournament and finished in the top 10 in four of the Golden Bears’ five spring meets.

“She brings great team leadership to the course,” Fisher said. “She’s very consistent for us with her scores.”

Foulke averaged an 89.0 last season, and Fisher is looking for her to become a more significant contributor for the Golden Bears.

Rumbley averaged an 87.6 last season, with her best finish coming at the Golden Bear Invite, where she shot an 83.

Corbo was a third-place finisher at the Mid-Penn Championships, fourth in District 3 and 14th at the PIAA Regionals.

“She’s going to shoot some low scores for us,” Fisher said.
