coach's corner

Jay Parker has been the one and only head coach of Suffolk women's golf since the program began in 2016-17 and returns to the helm for his sixth season in 2021.

In his five seasons, Parker has coached the Rams to a pair of NEIGA titles and has seen student-athletes shine individually. Under his guidance, the program has produced one Northeast Women's Golf Conference (NWGC) individual medalist, five All-NWGC honorees, nine All-NEIGA selections and two All-Empire 8 nods.

For the first time in his tenure, Parker will be aided with an assistant coach as former standout Nicole Antonucci returned to the Rams in a coaching role.
