For the first time in the program’s 15-year history, the Lady Monarch golf team is going to the big dance. With their performance at the Verandah Club, they were able to win the Conference USA Championship. You could say it’s a year of firsts for the Lady Monarchs: head coach Mallory Hetzel’s first season and the school’s first women’s golf conference championship securing their bid to the NCAA tournament.
Maggie Simmermacher was one of three ODU golfers to finish in the top ten at -1 for the tournament which was good enough for a tie for runner-up.
