- The Dukes wrapped up their regular season by finishing sixth out of 11 teams at the Bermuda Triangle Collegiate at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton Parish, Bermuda. The Dukes carded a 965 (327-319-319) over the course of 54 holes in a tournament hosted by Lehigh.
 
- Leading Duquesne individually at the Bermuda Triangle Collegiate was sophomore Sasha Petrochko, who closed in a three-way tie for 21st with Izzy Hassebrock of Idaho State and Sienna Mosquera of Lehigh with a 54-hole score of 239. Petrochko, who earned a team-high 26 pars over the course of the tournament, opened with an 83 before handing in a 78 in both the second and third rounds.
 
- Sophomore Sasha Petrochko finished two-under par at the Space Coast Classic for the Dukes to open the spring campaign, becoming the first student-athlete in program history to conclude a tournament under par. She fired a 214 (-2), opening with a 70 (-2) before handing in a 73 (+1) in the second round. Petrochko closed the tournament with a 71 (-1) and tied for sixth individually with Mi Li of Penn.
 
- Thanks to her performance at the Space Coast Classic, presented by MoonGolf, Petrochko earned her second Atlantic 10 Golfer of the Week nod of the 2025-26 season as well as third of her career. Entering the 2026 Atlantic 10 Championship, Petrochko owns an average round of 75.3, tops for the Dukes.
 
- Petrochko was also named A-10 Golfer of the Week last fall after tying for first at the Red Flash Invitational. In 36 holes of the tournament at Sunnehanna Country Club, Petrochko posted a 74 (+2) in each of the two rounds to finish at 148 and finish in a tie atop the leaderboard with Victoriah Kuranga of Towson. Kuranga would claim medalist honors at the tournament after winning on the third playoff hole.
 
- Freshman Lilly Powell collected her first career finish in the top 10 as part of the Red Flash Invitational, closing in a tie for eighth with a 153 (79, 74) with four other student-athletes. Combined, Petrochko (7) and Powell (4) posted seven birdies over the two days of action.
 
- Petrochko also garnered the top finish when Duquesne wrapped its 2025 fall schedule at the Lehigh Invitational, handing in a 154 (77, 77) to close in a three-way tied for 12th with Maggie Ni (78, 76) of Penn and Una Johnson (79, 75) of Navy, who was playing as an individual. The trio finished just a stroke shy of the top 10.

- Duquesne established program standards in its second season of NCAA Division I competition last fall in both a 36-hole and 54-hole tournament.
