ALLEGHENY opened its 2012-13 season at the St. John Fisher Collegiate Invitational at the Stafford Country Club in Stafford, New York.

The Gators were second in the final team standings after carding a 447 (143-304). Junior Oliver White (Lower Gwynedd, PA/Heritage Acad.), who was the clubhouse leader after nine-holes with a four-under par 33, led the Gators at the event in third-place in the final standings with a 27-hole total of 105 (33-72).
