HAMILTON, N.Y. – Freshman Blake Goodnight (Dallas, Texas) shot a 2-under-par, 70, to lead the Seton Hall men's golf team in round one of the 2025 Alex Lagowitz Memorial on Saturday.
Â
Goodnight had five birdies in his first collegiate round and was tied for third after round one. Lehigh's Noah Zyung led the field at 4-under-par.
Â
As a team, The Hall shot a 4-over-par, 292, and entered the second round in fifth place. Saint Joseph's was the team leader at 5-under-par after 18 holes.Â
Â
Most of the field was two-thirds of the way through the second round before darkness halted play. Seton Hall is having a monster second round and is 10-under-par with Pirates on holes 13 through 16 when play ended. Although the second round hasn't been completed, The Hall is the current team leader at 6-under-par for the tournament. The second round will be completed on Sunday before the third round begins.
Â
Senior David Lally (Wicklow, Ireland) had four birdies in the opening round and was even-par through round one with a 72. He was tied for ninth after round one.
Â
Graduate student George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) and Eli Shah (Newtown Square, Pa.) shot a 3-over-par, 75, in round one.
Â
Sophomore Will Hennessee (Tulsa, Okla.) shot a 4-over-par, 76, in round one, while freshman Jace Hulett (Boerne, Texas) rounded out the Seton Hall scoring with an 8-over-par, 80.
Â
Seton Hall also has three players competing as individuals. Sophomore Luke Nolan (Austin, Texas) had three birdies in route to a 1-over-par, 73. Junior Isaiah Williams (Flemington, N.J.) tallied 15 pars and also shot a 1-over-par, 73. Senior Jack Bosworth (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) carded a 4-over-par, 76.

Location:Â Hamilton, N.Y.
Course:Â Seven Oaks Golf Club
Course Vitals:Â Par-72, 7,125 yards
Dates:Â September 6-7, 2025
Â
THE COURSE:
Named for the ancestral home of the Colgate family, Seven Oaks Golf Club is nestled on the Colgate University Campus at the upper end of the Chenango Valley, in Hamilton, New York. In 1934, a young architect by the name of Robert Trent Jones was brought to Hamilton to begin work on designing the course as one of his first projects. Unfortunately, due to the great depression and WWII, the course and his plans were continuously postponed.
Â
Jones was called back many times throughout the following years to redesign the course before a final version was accepted and it was not until 1956 that ground was broken on the first nine holes, officially opening on July 4th, 1958. Construction for the remainder of the course soon began and on September 4th, 1965 the last nine holes were opened for play.
Â
Seven Oaks is characteristic of all Jones' courses, which include strategic deployment of water, along with extensive tee areas and large, expansive greens.Â
