ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley College women's golf team is prepared to start the year with its fall slate of events, as the program has its sights set on a successful 2025-26 season. The Flying Dutchmen have five competitions on their schedule this fall, including a home event at the Lebanon Country Club.

Lebanon Valley is coming off a 2024-25 season in which it finished sixth out of 11 teams at the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Championship. The Dutchmen also had multiple strong performances throughout the campaign, including when the program won team titles at the Weyhill Classic and the Ursinus Invitational, while defeating Kean University in a dual match. 

The Flying Dutchmen return three golfers from last year's team, including 2025 All-MAC honoree Jillian Fidler. The junior will look to build on a 2024-25 campaign in which she led LVC with a scoring average of 83.31. Fidler capped off this strong season with the All-Conference honors for her season-low round of 75 at the MAC Championship, which is the second-lowest round in program history. 

"I expect Jillian Fidler to compete for numerous individual championships during the season," Head Coach Joe Faller said. 

Senior Olivia Bartal is also coming back this fall, following a junior season in which she finished in the top five twice and in the top 10 three times. Senior Alexa Pridham is returning for Lebanon Valley as well, following a 2024-25 campaign in which she finished in the top five at one event and placed in the top 10 once. Additionally, sophomore Leela Nemani, junior Mia Frisoni, and junior Anna Tokle are joining the program this fall. Nemani and Frisoni also compete for LVC's women's ice hockey team.

Lebanon Valley will begin the campaign at the Elizabethtown Invitational, which will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 1 p.m. at the Hershey Country Club in Hershey, Pa. Another important competition for LVC during the fall is the Gettysburg Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Hanover Country Club in Abbottstown, Pa. 

The Dutchmen will close out their fall schedule with the Lebanon Valley Fall Invitational on Monday, Oct. 20, at noon at the Lebanon Country Club in Lebanon, Pa. The team will then resume the 2025-26 season next spring. LVC's full schedule can be found here.
