The Peddie varsity girls golf team hosted and competed in the 2025-2026 MAPL Championships at Peddie Golf Club. The Falcons won the team championship (318) for the second consecutive year. Ryland Portadin ’29 placed first to win the individual title with a 73 (+1). Jane Wei ’27 was second with a 78 (+6).
“They worked really hard this year, they got better every single day that we went out,” Head Coach Brian Dubrule said. “The loss to The Lawrenceville School on May 4 was probably the most influential thing to make them play today. They realized that they had to go out and work hard and stay focused, and they all played really well. We’re looking forward to states and we’ll try to build on this. Everything we do the whole year is for MAPLs and states. Everything else is to get better and that’s what they’ve done all year is get better.”
For Portadin, it was her third 18-hole tournament victory of three this season. Her last victory was winning the Swing Against Cancer individual girls championship on April 25 at Peddie Golf Club. The previous victory was on April 10 at the HCHS Red Devil Girls Golf Tournament.
“It’s a great feeling,” she said of the MAPL Championship team title. “I love coming out here and playing with the girls. We just have a lot of team camaraderie, we all get along really well, we’re all really supportive of one another, we work hard every day during practice. We’re a great team.”
For team captain Jane Wei, the day was rewarded after some obstacles. The 18-hole course was played through wind and rain throughout the day.
“I’m very proud of the entire team, even though the course conditions were hard,” Wei said. “I was really happy with my performance. I was battling with an injury from yesterday and was proud of getting myself ready to go for today.”
Leslie Han ’27 was Peddie’s recipient of the Coach Beth Allain Award. The award is presented to the student-athlete who demonstrates outstanding sportsmanship, dedication to the sport, and a commitment to upholding the principles of honesty, respect and perseverance.
The Falcons next host Notre Dame High School on Tuesday, May 12 at 3:30 p.m. at Peddie Golf Club.
