The 2020–2021 season for Rosemont Men’s Golf was a weird one, for COVID-19 had broken up the spring season of 2019-2020 and the fall season of 2020-2021. This could make it extremely tough to find a rhythm, keep guys healthy, and overall win matches as a golf program. However, this proved to be no challenge for Rosemont, as the Ravens returned to the top of the conference and reclaimed the Colonial States Athletic Conference Championship in dominant fashion. After a disrupted prior year, the team entered the season with renewed focus and a clear objective: reestablish themselves as the standard in conference golf.
At the core of this championship run was a balanced and experienced lineup featuring Samuel Reynolds, Liam O’Rourke, Paul Fedele, Quentin Davis, and Jake Torres. Each brought a distinct strength to the course, forming a unit that thrived on consistency. Providing depth throughout the season were reserves Jesse Lang, Aidan Rigney, Ryan Slee, and Stephen Vye. Guiding the team was Head Coach John Manos, whose steady leadership continued to shape the program’s culture, alongside Assistant Coach Devan Everett, who played an instrumental role in player development and match preparation.
During the regular season, Rosemont found themselves in the top 3-4 in every tournament, but were unable to win an invitational. Nonetheless, they competed at a high level and showed why they were a dominant golf program. However, as they had shown in previous years, they were able to hit their stride at just the right time for the CSAC tournament, which took place on April 23rd and 24th that year in 2021, at Indian Valley Country Club.
What Rosemont displayed during the 2021 Conference Championship was nothing less than domination. Besides a standout performance from Cairn University golfer Ryan Borrmann, Rosemont had the 2-6 spots locked up, something relatively unheard of. Four schools competed in the CSAC tournament in 2021: Cairn University, Wilson College, Clarks Summit University, and your Rosemont College Ravens. The scores for the three other schools included: 825 (+249), 859 (+283) and 902 (+326). The Ravens shot a whopping 675 (+99), shattering 2nd place by 150 strokes. Samuel Reynolds led the way with a +18 performance, and right behind him was Paul Fedele with a +20 performance. Liam O’Rourke came in 4th place, shooting a solid +29, and teammates Quentin Davis and Jake Torres achieved 5th and 6th place, shooting +32 and +35, respectively. In conclusion, the Ravens left no doubt on who the best golf program in the CSAC was that year.
The 2021 CSAC Championship did more than add another title to Rosemont’s résumé. It symbolized the program’s resilience in the face of adversity and its ability to evolve while maintaining its winning culture. With another championship secured, the Ravens continued to build a legacy defined by teamwork, preparation, and an unwavering standard of excellence.
