Grad seniors Erik Stauderman and Jack Angelucci have led the team all season.
The two veterans have matching scoring averages of 74.2 for the season with Stauderman posting three top-10 finishes and Angelucci registering two top-10s.
Stauderman will be playing in his third Atlantic 10 Championship, having finished 28th in each of the past two seasons. He found a very different way of scoring that result in the two tournaments, though.
In his A-10 Championship debut back in 2021, he logged rounds of 77-74-76 at Reunion. Last year, he entered the final day tied for 10th in the field after opening rounds of 1-under 71 followed by 1-over 73. He settled for a final round 76 to still take a solid finish and brings a ton of experience at the course to his final A-10 Championship appearance.
Angelucci, a transfer from Mercyhurst, makes his A-10 Championship debut on Friday coming off a high note of finishing the regular season tied for fourth at The Upstate Battle vs. Colgate and Bucknell with a final round 69 at Seven Oaks GC in Hamilton, N.Y. He brings in a program-record 12 rounds of par or better on the year thus far.
Jude Cummings also brings A-10 Championship experience, having played the course in a conference title setting as a freshman two years ago and carding rounds of 76-80-82.
Freshman Michael Bucko and junior Peter Byrne make their first A-10 Championship appearances this week. Bucko has played in 10 tournaments with a scoring average of 77.5 in his first collegiate season and looks to return to the form of the beginning of the year when he posted his two best tournament 54-hole totals of 222 and 224 at Seven Oaks as well as the VCU Shootout in Richmond. Byrne fired rounds of 76 and 77 at last week's regular season finale.
This weekend brings a new wrinkle to the A-10 Championship where coaches will have the option of making a lineup sub during the weekend. Freshman Gabe Williams will be the team's alternate and is fresh off his best collegiate round of 69 this past weekend.
