Pre-Tournament Thoughts from Coach Quinn
"We look forward to competing at N.C. State. I'm excited to see how we will stack up against a real solid field."

Previewing the Owls

Four of the top five scorers from a season ago return for the Owls this season, led by senior Ethan Whitney.
Whitney led the team with 12 rounds of par or better in 2023-24, and ranked second on the team with a 73.5 scoring average.
A second team All-AAC selection in 2022-23, he rounded out his season with an impressive Top 10 performance at AAC Championships, tying for eighth at one-under par.
Junior Aidan Emmerich also returns for Temple, coming off a sophomore campaign in which he stood third on the team in scoring average (73.6).
Emmerich led the squad with six Top 20 finishes, including a tie for fourth at last year's Temple Invitational.
Seniors Michael Walsh and Joey Morganti will look to close out their career as Owls on a high note.
Walsh saw action in 11 of the 12 events the team took part in a season ago and had a season-best round of 70 at the Ironwood Collegiate Classic.
Morganti earned his first collegiate victory by shooting a five-under par 67 to win the Big 5 Championship. After tying for medalist honors with two other participants, Morganti parred the fourth playoff hole to capture the individual title.
Another upperclassman looking to make an impact is senior Jake Naese. Naese saw action in two tournaments a season ago and has played 25 career rounds for Temple.
Additional returning players include juniors Brett McGrath, Darren Nolan, and Michael Quirk, as well as sophomores Ben Saggers, Matthew Vital, and Michael Vital.
Two newcomers join the squad for 2024-25 -- NYU transfer Drew Clark and Florida native Mason Tome.
