Penguin Women´s Golf History
![Horizon League Champions](/sportspages/womens_golf/womens_golf_images/champions.png)
This program began in 1996 and has had only one coach prior to the 2013-14 seasons, Roseann Schwartz. In four years of competition in the Mid-Con, YSU had 10 all-conference selections. Stephanie Matasek was the conference’s Newcomer of the Year in 1999 and was a three-time all-conference selection. Matasek also had two runner-up individual finishes at the Mid-Con meet. In the spring of 2003, the Penguins became the first YSU women’s program to earn a Horizon League Championship winning the inaugural league women’s golf title by 10 strokes over Loyola. Lori Hatcher won the individual championship while Gina Abruzzino placed third and Jennifer Grossi placed fifth. In 2004, YSU led after two rounds, but could not hold their lead placing third. In 2005 and 2006, the Penguins placed second while in 2007 they came in third. Since the HL began sponsoring women's golf in 2003, YSU has two titles, four second-place finishers and two third-place finishes. The Penguins finished third in 2004 and 2007 and second three times - 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 - at the HL Championships. YSU won the first-ever league meet in the 2003.
