McGowan, the Storm’s No. 1 singles and doubles player, won both of her singles matches and doubles matches during the individual portion of the NEAC Tournament en route to being named the conference Player of the Year. McGowan also won all four of her matches during the team portion of the NEAC Tournament, helping Keuka to a second place finish. In the championship match of singles, McGowan won easily (6-4, 6-0). She was named to the NEAC first team in both singles and doubles. Her efforts also helped Keuka to its first-ever NCAA Tournament birth as Penn State-Harrisburg, the NEAC champions, can’t accept the conference AQ due to its provisional status.
Robinson, the NEAC Player of the Year last season as well, finished with a two-day total of 145 to finish two strokes ahead of the second place finisher. Robinson shot a 76 on the first day of the NEAC Championships held at Cazenovia Country Club and followed it up with a two under par 69 on the second day. He finished plus three for the tournament while being named the NEAC Player of the Year for a second consecutive year.
