The Empire 8 Championship will be decided over four rounds for an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Division III Championship. Two rounds of the conference tournament take place this weekend at
Timber Banks and the other two rounds will be played in the spring at the
Hershey Country Club in Hershey, Pa. in mid-April.
After winning last year's conference title, St. John's Fisher has won 11 of the past 12 championships. The Cardinals entered the season as the No. 18 ranked team in the nation and with three of its 2015-16 All-Empire 8 selections back on the roster, Fisher certainly has a chance to repeat as champions once again.
Fisher will have to compete against Elmira College, Moravian College, Nazareth College, the University of Scranton, Stevens Institute of Technology, Susquehanna University and Utica College.
Several of the Empire 8's top contenders have taken a step forward throughout the month of September, and if they can elevate their games on the conference's biggest stage this weekend at Timber Banks Golf Club in Baldwinsville, NY, anything is possible.
