The women's program will practice and compete in partnership with the Knights men's golf program and be led by current men's coach Mike Dube who will enter his fourth year leading the programs in 2021-22 seasons. Atkinson Country Club will continue to serve as the programs home course.
"While we have always welcomed women's golfers to be part of the men's program, this now gives additional opportunities to our female students to practice and compete for their own championships," commented NECC Athletic Director Dan Blair.
Any returning or incoming student interested in joining the women's golf program should contact coach Mike Dube (mdube@Atkinsoncc.com) or Director of Athletics Dan Blair (dblair@necc.mass.edu).
The NECC athletic program will make a full return to practice and competition for the 2021-22 athletic seasons and kick start the year on Tuesday August 10th with the inaugural NECC Athletics BBQ Knight.
