KUTZTOWN, Pa. – The change in venue did not seem to faze the Gannon University women's golf team on Day One of the 2022 PSAC Women's Golf Championships, as the Knights—seeking a third-straight PSAC title—currently lead the field by 20 strokes after shooting a combined 323 (+35.) The closest competitors include Millersville University at 343 (+55) and Mercyhurst University (344, +56.) The Berkleigh Golf Club in Kutztown, Pa. assumed hosting duties from the Hershey Country Club this spring, where the annual three-day tournament had previously been held for over a decade.
Â
