2019 Women's Golf Fall Schedule
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall women's golf head coach Brooke Burkhammer announced the 2019 fall schedule on Tuesday. The season begins Sept. 8-10 at the Golfweek Program Challenge.
"I am excited for the team to come back to campus and get the season started again," coach Burkhammer said who enters her fourth season leading the team. "This schedule is very competitive and a chance to compete with the best of the best to prove we are competitive too. It'll be a challenge but the future is bright for Marshall women's golf and I'm glad to be a part of it."
The 2019 Golfweek Program Challenge is a three-day event that will be hosted on Pawley's Island, S.C. The remaining fall schedule will see the team travel to the Mary Fossum Invitational (Sept. 22-23) hosted by Michigan State, the Bettie Lou Evans Invitational (Sept. 27-29) hosted by Kentucky, the Princess Anne Invitational (Oct. 4-6) hosted by Old Dominion and the Palmetto Intercollegiate (Oct. 13-15) at Kiawah Island, S.C.
In the 2018-19 season, Marshall won the William & Mary Invitational and finished as the runner-up at the Roseann Schwartz Invitational, the Maryb S. Kauth Invite and the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate. The Herd capped the season with a sixth place finish out of 12 teams at the Conference USA Championships, the team's best result in program history.
Marshall also spent the entire 2018-19 season ranked in the Golf Stat Top 100 rankings for the first time in program history as well. The Herd had its highest ever ranking of 81st on Oct. 16, 2018.
The Herd returns an experienced squad with senior Shelby Brauckmuller, juniors Kerri Parks and Stormy Randazzo, sophomores Jackie Schmidt and Torren Kalaskey. Brauckmuller was ranked in the individual Golf Stat Top 250 with a top ranking of 127th in the country and ended the year named second team All-Conference USA. The team's lone senior brought home the top award twice this past season from the William & Mary Invitational and tied with her teammate Parks at the Maryb S. Kauth Invite. Brauckmuller also finished as the runner-up at the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate. Parks finished as the runner-up at the 2019 C-USA Championships and was named to the All-Tournament Team as well as being honored on the Conference USA All-Academic Team. In November of 2018, Parks was named the Golf Association Michigan Women's Player of the Year.
Randazzo and Schmidt both competed in every event for the Herd in the 2018-19 season and were honored off the field as WGCA All-American Scholar Athletes. Kalaskey did not compete this past season but received the Conference USA Academic Medal.
Marshall welcomes incoming freshmen Makena Rauch and Peyton Schaffer.
