2011 Fall Golf Outlook

The Saint Mary's golf team continued to assert themselves as one of the best teams in the MIAA and the nation in the 2010­–11 under the leadership of head coach Mark Hamilton. The most decorated and accomplished team in Saint Mary's Athletics history, the Belles claimed their sixth MIAA Championship and made their sixth NCAA Division III Championship tournament appearance last year.

Over the past eight seasons of MIAA play, a Saint Mary’s golfer has earned season medalist and conference MVP honors one eight occasions. In each of those eight instances of boasting the league's top player, a different member of the team has earned the distinction – something unparalleled in the conference.

One of the program's All-Americans will be looked upon to help lead the charge in 2011–12. Natalie Matuszak '12, who finished third at the 2010 NCAA Championship tournament, will try to settle some unfinished business as the Belles strive to take an MIAA-best seventh championship in 2011. Christine Brown '12 and Doyle O'Brien '14 also return to the team with both players gaining National Championship tournament experience in the past two seasons.
