Margaret Loncki - Women's Golf

CLAREMONT, Calif. – On Friday, May 11, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women’s golf team captured the program’s first NCAA National Title. Tied at 93-over par at the end of the final round, the Athenas battled with the Williams Ephs through two playoff holes before Margaret Loncki (CMC) made a 15-foot par putt on the 18th green to clinch the National Championship for CMS.

Less than two hours earlier, Loncki stood on the very same green clinching the Individual Championship with a par on the 72nd hole of the Tournament. She finished the week 11-over par, three shots clear of the second-best individual in the field. Now playing her 74th hole of the week, Loncki calmly stepped up and drained her put to clinch the National Championship for the Athenas.

Along with her Individual Championship and contributions to the Team Title, Loncki was named National Player of the Year.
