The women’s golf team’s surge to historic heights

[meangreen11]

Having charted a historic season this past year, women’s golf completed a five-year climb from a national ranking in the 200s to winning its second-ever bid to NCAA Regionals.

The berth marked women’s golf’s second time making a regional tournament in program history and first as an automatic qualifier after winning the Conference USA title. Junior Audrey Tan took the C-USA individual title in what was also a first for the program.

“It’s pretty cool to know we were part of history like that,” Tan said. “Just a bunch of amazing people, an amazing team and I’m so glad I could do this with this amazing bunch of people.”

Reaching those milestones was an achievement five years in the making, dating back to head coach Michael Akers’ inaugural season with the program, 2016-17. Akers reached the regional tournament six times in his 10 seasons as Texas State University’s head coach from 2006-2016 before taking over a No. 201-ranked North Texas program.
