After putting together an outstanding career at Cold Spring Harbor High School, Susannah Aboff had the chance to join the Duke University women’s golf team, the dominant program in its sport.

“We had to stay positive, we had heartbreaking losses in the last inning and we had big losses to teams like Stanford and Cal,” said Salcido, whose club dropped six one-run contests on the trip.
