NE10 Announces Women's Golf Postseason Awards
EASTON, Mass. (June 11, 2021) – A program-best three members of the Northeast-10 Conference runner-up Stonehill College women's golf program have been selected to the NE10 All-Conference teams by the league's eight head coaches, the Conference announced today.
Stonehill, which had single All-NE10 performers in each of the last two seasons over its four-year history, added a record three more today. The list is headlined by NE10 Championships medalist runner-up Julia Dapron as the first in program history to be named to the All-NE10 first team, while classmate Emily Kase has earned a spot on the second team and junior Emma Beaulieu has been selected to the third team. It marks the first All-NE10 selection for all three and gives the Skyhawks five All-NE10 selections in the program's four-year history.
Dapron, who finished second at the 2021 NE10 Championships this spring, earns All-NE10 first team honors after posting top ten finishes in all three events Stonehill competed in this spring, capped by the program-record performance at the NE10 Championships. She posted a team-best 86.40 stroke average over her five rounds in the three events this spring. Dapron was the first Stonehill golfer to hold a first round lead at the single-day 36-hole NE10 Championship on April 22, leading the Skyhawks to a second-place team finish. She earned NE10 All-Championship Team honors at the event, carding a first round 83, which marked her season-low, before adding an afternoon 87 for a 170 total. Dapron also added a seventh-place finish at the Saint Rose Invitational (88-87=175) on April 14 and tied for ninth at the Assumption Invitational (87) on April 19.
Dapron has posted an 84.93 stroke average in her 15 career rounds in eight events over her first two seasons at Stonehill. She posted an 84.20 average in ten rounds over five events her freshman season, carding a career-low 80 in the second round of the 2019 Saint Rose Fall Invitational in her collegiate debut, finishing 15th overall. Dapron, who has been named to the NE10 Academic Honor Roll, placed 20th at the 2019 NE10 Championships (85-85=169).
