PENFIELD, N.Y. – Hamilton College’s Ramon Aroca Gonzalez ’26 recorded a four-over par 76 on the second day of the 2025 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf Championship at Midvale Country Club on Wednesday, May 21.
Despite moving up to a tie for 63rd place out of 225 golfers with a score of 153, Aroca Gonzalez missed the cut for the final 36 holes of the championship. The top 18 teams and six individuals not on one of those teams moved on to Thursday’s round.
Aroca Gonzalez’s second round got off to a tough start with a bogey on the first hole, but he made birdie on the 544-yard third hole and the 138-yard ninth hole. He finished his front nine with an even-par 36.
Aroca Gonzalez was still at even par on his round through 13 holes, but he made bogey on four of the last five and finished the back nine in 40.
Aroca Gonzalez enjoyed a fantastic season as 21 of his 22 rounds were under 80 and six were 70 or better. He was voted the 2025 NESCAC Men’s Golfer of the Year and was an all-conference and all-region team selection.

PWHL Turns To Turner To Lead New Seattle Women’s Team
With the new PWHL Seattle expansion franchise just two weeks away from being able to sign free agents, they needed someone to do the signings. Now they have her.

With the new PWHL Seattle expansion franchise just two weeks away from being able to sign free agents, they needed someone to do the signings. Now they have her.
The league, which owns all of its teams, has appointed Meghan Turner as PWHL Seattle general manager. Turner, who’s 30, spent the past two seasons as assistant GM with the Boston Fleet. She played in college for Quinnipiac University and professionally in two prior women’s leagues.
Fleet general manager Danielle Marmer predicted this advancement back in 2024, when she named good friend Turner as her second in command. “She’s going to take my job one day,” Marmer said to the New Hampshire Union Leader. “She’s going to be so good at this. I won’t be surprised if she’s the GM of an NHL team at some point in the future.”
Marmer once told Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney she would trust her life to Turner. “Even through college, we cared about being successful in the classroom, cared about being successful on the ice and cared about being good teammates and good friends. She was always someone I went to for advice in college. When I moved in with her, every day we would talk about everything and I got to watch her work ethic first hand.”
Smart players are often lauded for having “high hockey IQ.” Turner has high IQ, period. She used an MBA from Quinnipiac in her consultant’s role at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
For Turner, moving into a hockey front office meant not only leaving a successful career, but one that paid more, too. “It’s really hard to have (hockey) be a big part of your identity and move on from it,” Turner said. “With everything happening in women’s sports in general, I think it was a tough transition away at first but I knew this (PWHL) league was coming and I was always hopeful that I would be able to have some role in supporting it – whatever that looked like – but I could not have envisioned this role, for sure.”
Jayna Hefford, PWHL executive VP of hockey operations, lauded Turner in a press release as a “big-picture thinker who quickly earned the respect of players and staff alike.”
From Associated Press: “Turner enjoyed a glimpse of Seattle’s support for women’s hockey in the Fleet’s 3-2 shootout win over Montreal on Jan. 5 at Climate Pledge Arena, which will serve as the PWHL team’s home. The game was the PWHL’s first of nine ‘Takeover Tour’ games this season and attracted a crowd of 12,608.”
Her latest challenge is building a new team in a new city from the ground up. And there’s a whole lot to do in the next month. In addition to the June 4 opening window for expansion teams in Seattle and Vancouver to sign free agents, other key dates for Turner are the PWHL Expansion Draft on June 9 and the 2025 PWHL Draft on June 24.

Michigan State hockey adding Travis Shoudy
Ferris State D Travis Shoudy, originally scheduled to transfer to Colorado College, will instead go to Michigan State and play with his brother, Tiernan. The Spartans recently lost Tyson Jugnauth, a defenseman commit from the WHL, to a pro deal. — Brad Elliott Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) May 20, 2025 Michigan State hockey has made a massive […]

Michigan State hockey has made a massive addition to the 2025-26 roster, especially this late in the process. After Tyson Jugnauth made the move to sign a professional contract, forgoing his college career, the Spartans were left with finding a defenseman to take his spot on the roster.
To fill that massive hole in the roster, Michigan State turned to someone familiar with the program. Tiernan Shoudy’s twin brother, Travis, has committed to Adam Nightingale and the Spartans. The 5’10”, 175 pound defenseman was committed to Colorado College before flipping to MSU.
Starting his career, Shoudy spent three seasons in Big Rapids with Ferris State, with him being the captain during the third season with the Bulldogs. A left handed shot defenseman, Shoudy scored 14 goals, adding 35 assists for a total of 49 points in 104 career games.
Shoudy is a massive addition to the Spartans defense room, giving a veteran presence that will be able to make an immediate impact this season.
