This year, the University of Washington women's golf team won its first NCAA national championship since the program's inception in 1974. Mary Lou Mulflur -- or ML, as many call her -- has been the head coach of the team for 33 years. I was fortunate enough to play for her from 2007 to 2011, and excitedly watched the action at Eugene Country Club as the Huskies battled defending champion Stanford in the final round for the title.
I talked to ML two days after their win, and she gave me some insight to the team's success over the last four years, what she hopes for in the future and thoughts about Washington's new athletic director, Jennifer Cohen, who is the second female to hold that position at the university.
