GENESEO, N.Y. - The Empire 8 Conference announced its 2025 Women's Golf Invitational Award Winners and All-Conference selections on Nov. 14, based on results from the Empire 8 Women's Golf Invitational, which was held at Teugega Country Club in Rome, NY on Oct. 12-13. Jillian Draper and Lydia Hickey highlighted the honors for the Knights by being named Second-Team All-Conference.

Draper finished eighth overall at the Empire 8 Invitational, posting scores of 95 and 93. Draper's first round was highlighted by a birdie on the par 5 fifth hole and her second round was highlighted by recording a total of four pars and one birdie. Hickey took ninth overall at the two day invite by carding a 99 on day one, then on day two posted a 91 after shooting a 43 on the back nine with two pars and a birdie on the par 3, 15th hole.

One member of each team was named that institution's representative on the 2025 Women's Golf Tomorrow's Leaders Team. This team honors a student-athlete who has emerged as a leader not only on the field of play, but in the classroom and in the community. In addition, they "compete with honor and integrity" and have distinguished themselves and consistently exhibit the critical traits as outstanding sportswomen, and Draper earned that recognition for the Knights.
