REXFORD, N.Y. – Concluding the 2021-22 season, the Manhattanville College women's golf team competed over the weekend at the Northeast Women's Golf Conference (NWGC) Championships. While the Valiants did not have enough golfers to earn a team score, Manhattanville posted a pair of top-30 finishes, with Sydney Bardsley () placing fifth overall.

The graduate student Bardsley ended Round Two on Sunday with a score of 172 (+28) to tie for fifth place on the individual scoreboard with SUNY Cortland's Sophia Oristian to make the All-NGWC First Team at the conclusion of the event. Meg Stacy (Bethany, Conn./The Gunnery), making her season debut on the links, ended the weekend with a score of 244 (+100) to take 29^th place.

Bardsley had a great showing in Saturday's Round One as the Par 72, 5,688 yard Edison Club course. She would end her first round in third place, shooting an 82 (+10) in the first 18 holes. Bardsley sank nine pars and had a birdie on the Par 5, 427 yard Hole 12. The second trip around the course on Sunday gave Bardsley a touch more trouble, as she saw her stroke total increase by eight for a Round Two score of 90 (+18). Still, it was an excellent showing for the graduate student capping off a year of strong play.

After shooting 129 (+57) in Round One, Stacy was able to knock 14 strokes off her score on Sunday to score a 115 (+43) in her second round. Individually, Stacy performed better on 10 of the 18 holes in her second round of play, allowing her to leapfrog Westfield State's Kerry Greenough to claim 29^th place on the leaderboards.

SUNY Cortland had five of the weekend's top six golfers, with Bardsley being the only non-Red Dragon between them. Paige Cerminaro led the field after both rounds, shooting a tournament-low 157 (+13) to take first place overall. She tied with teammate Claudia Winterberg for the best score on Round Two, with both shooting a 78 (+6).

SUNY Cortland took the team crown with a total score of 648 (+72). The rest of the team standings, in order, were Suffolk (751, +175), Nazareth (754, +178), Husson (768, +192), Utica (854, +278), Keuka (1100, +524), and Westfield State (1121, +545).
