LAST TIME OUT
UMary men's golf opened its season with the team's first victory since spring 2024 at the Fall Brawl. The Marauders had four golfers finish in the top-10. They were Payton Hiller (7^th), Evan Booth (7^th), Ryker Landers (10^th), and Lucas Schoepp (10^th). The grouping defeated Concordia-St. Paul, last year's NSIC runner-up, by two strokes.

The women's golf team placed 9^th at the Fall Brawl. Their time in Wisconsin was highlighted by the debuting freshman Lauren Graveline, who placed 13^th at the meet.

GOLFERS TO WATCH
Annie Neva was named the women's team's Golfer to Watch after winning two meets last year. Quinn Breidenbach was selected as the men's team's Golfer to Watch after finishing atop the leaderboard at a pair of meets last season.

NEW FACES
Leading the men's and women's programs will be first-year head coach Kyle Kasitz. He is fresh off a playing career at Taylor University, where he simultaneously served as an assistant coach for the men's and women's golf teams.

Brody Duchien is the lone addition to the men's team. He placed 4^th at the 2026 Montana Class B State Championships individually and was the top scorer for the team champions, Florence-Carlton High School.

Lola Huber and Lauren Graveline are the new members of the women's team. Both golfers were top-10 finishers at the 2025 NDHSAA Class A Championships, with Huber in 9^th and Graveline in 10^th. Huber played for St. Mary's High School in Bismarck, ND, and Graveline represented Shanley High School in Fargo, ND.
