ABOUT THE NEIGA
The New England Intercollegiate Golf Association (NEIGA) is a non-profit organization, which was first organized in 1934 at the Oakley Country Club in Watertown, Massachusetts. NEIGA is believed to be the largest gathering of collective players from all levels of NCAA competing at the same location on a 36-hole layout. There are currently 46 New England colleges and universities as members of the NEIGA.
THE COURSE
Two championship golf courses at one location line in the Captains Golf Course. Together, the par-72 Port Course and the par-72 Starboard Course deliver 36 holes.
THE FIELD
Sixteen different schools including Suffolk will battle to hoist the NEIGA trophy. The field features the Rams' Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) counterparts Endicott, Nichols, Roger Williams, the University of New England, Wentworth and Western New England. Rounding out the competition is Babson, Eastern Connecticut State, Elms, Husson, Saint Joseph's (Maine), Springfield, Southern Maine and Worcester State.
RAPID REWIND
Two years ago, Suffolk had the best team showing at the 85th NEIGA Championship with a sixth-place showing in the field of 16.
That same season, Owen Boggini put together the best-known individual performance in recent history and according to the Rams' year-by-year record book, which date through the 2008 season, with a tie for 12th. His two-day score of 156 boosted him to All-NEIGA Second-Team honors, the first male Suffolk student-athlete to garner the regional accolade.
RAMS RECOGNITION
For the second time this season, Mauro Stanchieri of the Suffolk men's golf team picked up Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Rookie of the Week recognition after his showing at the Blazers Invitational, the league office announced Tuesday.
