Portland — Saint Joseph’s College Women’s Golf Unveils Busy 2025 Fall Lineup
Quick hit: nine events, coast-to-coast New England stops, and a push for momentum
Brace yourselves, golf fans — the fall slate for Saint Joseph’s College women’s golf is set and it’s packed. The 2025 fall schedule features nine events across New England, including two home tournaments at Point Sebago in Casco. This is the kind of fall run that can build a program’s identity fast, and the team looks ready to grind through tight fields and tricky fall courses.
Opening salvo and home stands
The fall campaign kicks off on Friday, August 29, 2025 with the USM Tri-Match at Riverside Golf Course in Portland — a spot that should feel familiar and sharpens competitive instincts early. Just a few days later the Monks head into their first home test of the year: the annual Queenan Memorial Tournament hosted at Point Sebago on September 3, 2025. A second home date arrives on October 11 with the Monks Invitational, again at Point Sebago, giving the squad two solid chances to perform in front of hometown supporters.
Mid-September grind and late-season crescendo
September keeps the slate busy with three additional events: the USM Cup Scramble at Riverside on September 6, the Husson Eagle Invitational at Bangor Municipal on September 13, and the SMCC Seawolves Shootout at Valhalla in Cumberland on September 26. After that the Monks will switch gears toward the postseason-style competitions. The trip to Brewster, Massachusetts, for the NEIGA Championship at The Captains Golf Course on October 18–19 figures to be the benchmark test. The regular season wraps up on October 25 at the Gordon College Invitational at Windham Country Club in New Hampshire.
Coaching and leadership notes
The program’s coaching picture comes with plenty of experience and new energy. Theresa Luu is noted as being in her second year with the women’s golf team for 2025–26; she was named the program’s inaugural head coach in January 2024. Luu brings more than 15 years of coaching and teaching experience, is a member of the Ladies Professional Golf Association, and juggles roles running the NJ Golf Center while contributing to Town and Country Golf Link, The First Tee of Delaware, and Girls Golf programs. Her background includes being a four-year letterwinner at Saint Joseph’s, serving as team president during her junior and senior seasons, and earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a minor in communications in 2022.
Another coaching name that appears in program notes is Don Flanagan, listed as entering his third year with the team. The season briefing references both experienced hands and rising leaders on the sideline — a mix that can help a young program find its competitive footing.
Players and past form
Looking back at 2024, the squad posted a season-best third-place finish at the Lebanon Valley Fall Invitational — a result that showed the program’s potential. Individual honors from recent seasons included notable weekly Atlantic 10 recognitions: one player achieved both Atlantic 10 Player and Rookie of the Week honors, another earned A-10 Rookie of the Week twice, and a team member landed on the A-10 All-Academic Team for strong performance on and off the course. These milestones give a sense that the roster blends competitive fire with academic focus.
Broader conference landscape
Conference-wide changes keep things interesting beyond Saint Joseph’s own story. St. Bonaventure University is adding women’s golf as a varsity sport for 2026–27 and will hire a Director of Golf to oversee both men’s and women’s programs, with Bartlett Country Club in Olean named as the home course. That move ties into broader enrollment strategy and gender-equity goals across the league. Also noted in the off-season shuffle is a men’s coach stepping away from the collegiate sideline to resume a career as a golf professional at a private club, a reminder of the fluid job market in collegiate golf.
What to watch this fall
- Early momentum: Strong results in the August/September tri-matches and Invitationals can build confidence.
- Home advantage: Performances at Point Sebago on September 3 and October 11 will be pivotal.
- NEIGA Championship: The October trip to The Captains Golf Course is a real test and could define the fall.
- Player development: Keep an eye on players who picked up weekly A-10 honors last season — they may lead the charge.
Bottom line
The 2025 fall slate is a full, no-nonsense test for Saint Joseph’s. Nine events, a pair of home tests, and a pressure-packed NEIGA stop give this team plenty of ways to get better — and plenty of chances to surprise a few opponents along the way. For fans who like their golf competitive, local, and slightly dramatic, this fall looks like a season worth following.
