Hurricane standout adds to the local flavor of roster
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall Women's Golf coach Brooke Burkhammer announced the signing of Savannah Hawkins to the Thundering Herd's Class of 2024.

"We're excited to have Savannah join our program," Burkhammer said. "She's a great fit with our team and we're glad she's staying home with the Herd!"
Hawkins earned the title at the 2023 WVSSAC Girls Golf Invitational in September, carding a 2-under 70 at Mingo Bottom Golf Club to earn the title.
One of Hawkins' biggest successes in the victory came on the par-5s, which she played to 3-under par. It was her second consecutive victory in the event, also earning the title in 2022.
Hawkins earned a T-3 finish the 100th W.Va. Women's Amateur where she competed with several of her future Marshall teammates at Edgewood Country Club in Sissonville.
