The Hilbert College Athletics Department is excited to announce the addition of Women's Golf to its athletic program offerings beginning this fall, 2024.

Associate Athletic Director Laura Edholm, the current mixed-golf head coach, will expand her leadership role to the second golf program, and she is eager to add value to the student-athlete experience.

"I am thankful for the commitment of President Dr. Brophy and Athletic Director Tim Seil to separate our coed golf team into a men's and women's program to provide more competitive opportunities for ladies to compete," said Edholm.  "It's such an exciting time to help grow the sport and to enhance the athletic offerings at Hilbert. I look forward to building a competitive team for Fall 2024."

Edholm, in her first year at Hilbert after several successful seasons at Medaille University, guided the Hawks to multiple program records in 2023.  Four golfers established new career low scores, the team won three tournaments (Hilbert Invite | Elmira Invite | Keuka Invite) prior to their record breaking AMCC Championship single-round (326) and tournament final score (667); as well, two Hilbert players were recognized as AMCC All-Conference golfers (Michael Petrus - Second Team & Reese Chase - Third Team).

The addition of women's golf to the roster of sports offered at Hilbert broadens its total number of athletic teams competing in the NCAA Division III to 19.
