Mia Kness, a freshman on the women’s golf team, is making strides in her first year and has the Pirates heating up in time for the Big East Championship.
From the time she stepped on the collegiate course, Kness not only kept up with the competition, but also shot past it. Her strong freshman year began in the fall, with three top-20 finishes in her first four tournaments followed by her first individual title in the Brown Bear Invitational on Oct. 16.
Since then, Kness has continued to impress with two top-10 finishes in the last three tournaments, helping the Pirates secure two wins.
