BC golf coach Larry Cook said about the season, “We did well; we had two golfers go to state, and that says a lot about them.” Cook added, “They’ve gained a lot of experience.”
Cook said that if the golfers stay active in the off-season, then they would be successful. Cook also said about the next women’s golf season and incoming freshmen, “We’ll see how it goes. It’s wide open. We’re still trying to develop a team.”
The only returnees that will play next season for BC women’s golf will be freshman James and freshman Krausse.
