15th Annual Athletic Golf Tournament July 20th, 2023 at Fogg Brook Resort in Palmyra, Maine
The University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) Athletic Department is excited to announce the date for the 15th annual athletic golf tournament scheduled to take place on July 20th, 2023 at Fogg Brook Resort, 147 Lang Hill Rd, Palmyra, Maine. The public is invited to participate in the tournament or contribute as a tournament sponsor.
Through fundraising efforts we have been able to enhance the student-athlete experience as well as grow our programs. Over the last few years, our athletic teams have strengthened their performance, talent, and team unity.
The 2022-23 academic year has brought a lot of success and excitement for the Moose. Esports has been added to our list of varsity programs which began competition this Spring 2023 semester in our high tech esports arena located in the Katz building. Men's and Women's Soccer will arrive this Fall 2023. With these additions, UMA now sponsors 10 varsity programs to go along with multiple club sports. Our student-athletes have worked extremely hard both on their playing surfaces and the classroom. Ty Cowan, Co-Ed Golf, finished 3rd in the YSCC Championship and Laura LeFloch, Women's Cross Country finished 6th in the YSCC Championship. Alisyn Alley, Women's Basketball, was recognized as a USCAA National Second Team All-American and Trevor Beals, Men's Basketball, was recognized as a USCAA National Honor Mention All-American. 9 student- athletes were recognized as USCAA National Academic All-Americans (3.5 GPA or higher) and 14 student- athletes were recognized as YSCC Academic All-Conference for Fall 2022/Spring 2023. Our Women's Basketball team qualified to compete at the USCAA Division II National Basketball Tournament in Richmond, VA where they were able to win two games. The Co-Ed Golf team qualified for the USCAA National Golf Invitational and Track & Field has qualified for USCAA Track Nationals in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The golf tournament fundraiser will be held on July 20th, 2023 at Fogg Brook Resort, 147 Lang Hill Rd, Palmyra, Maine.
All proceeds from the UMA Athletic Golf Tournament will go directly towards supporting the Moose to help enhance the UMA student-athlete experience. Philanthropic support of Moose Athletics is what allows our UMA Athletics teams to strive and shine, be it with new equipment or open doors for better opportunities for our students. The Moose rely on generous donors for the financial assistance required when growing and maintaining our sports programs.
