Player of the Week
Peyton Mussina / Sr / Penn College / Montoursville, Pa. / Montoursville HS
Mussina turned in two tournament cards under par to earn an individual medalist honor and a third-place finish last week. The Wildcats' senior topped the leaderboard out of 52 golfers with a five-stroke lead at the Alvernia Fall Invite on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a 2-under 142 on the 6,687-yard Bulle Rock course and led the Wildcats to a sixth-place team finish. Mussina capped his fall schedule with his sixth top five finish of the fall; he placed third at the Farmingdale State George Cangero Invitational over the weekend after shooting a 4-under 140, on the par 72, 6,693-yard Bethpage State Park course. Mussina led the field at the George Cangero Invite with 11 birdies.
This is the ninth Athlete of the Week honor for Mussina over his career. The 2023-24 season saw Mussina win the Fall Preview en route to winning the United East Championship by five strokes. Nationally, Mussina finished tied 17th at the NCAA National Championships, the highest finish by a golfer at the NCAA Championships in league history. After the Championships, Mussina earned an All-Region honor, the first for Penn College.
