Coe joins the Eagles after three seasons at North Florida
STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern women's golf coach Emily Kuhfeld announced today that Lauren Coe will join the Eagle roster for the 2016-17 season.
Coe graduated from North Florida and played three seasons for the Ospreys. She will begin pursuing her master's degree in business at Georgia Southern and has one season of eligibility remaining.
"It became apparent when we were contacted by Lauren that she has the sort of qualities we look for in recruiting, and I have been very impressed with her communication, positive attitude and maturity throughout this process," Kuhfeld said. "She has shown herself to be a selfless team player who will add tremendous value to this program both on and off the course."
Coe competed in six tournaments and posted a 75.78 scoring average in 18 rounds last season. She notched three top-25 finishes and tied for third at the Amelia Island Collegiate (68-76-64=218, +2) after firing her lowest round of the year, a 68, on the first day. Coe recorded a 76.43 stroke average in 14 rounds of competition as a sophomore and played in all 10 events as a true freshman with a 77.83 stroke average, posting four top-25 finishes.
"Coach Kuhfeld was very supportive of my goals, and I saw Georgia Southern has a good fit throughout the process," said Coe. "There are a lot of good players on the team who did really well in their first season last year and some really talented freshmen coming in, and I feel I can add to the development of the program."
Coe joins incoming freshmen Julianna Collett (St. Simons, Ga./Glynn Academy), Rachel Hardy (Houston, Texas/St. Pius) and Ella Ofstedahl (Bedfordshire, England/Harlington Upper School) as the Eagle newcomers.
The Eagles took fourth at the Sun Belt Championship last April in their first year of competition. Georgia Southern returns five letterwinners to the 2016-17 team.
