The Wittenberg University Women's Golf team is off and running in its inaugural varsity season of 2003-04. The first-year varsity program includes 12 committed student-athletes who are excited about the task at hand - namely building the foundation for a strong, winning program.

Leading the charge in the 2004 spring season is senior Erin Mowrey (Toledo, Ohio/St. Ursula), who is the most accomplished golfer on the team and a co-captain this year. In the fall, she led the team in all four events, averaging a 95.6 in five rounds. She helped found the team with Head Coach Pat Clouse in 2003.

Leah Krotine (Strongsville, Ohio/Padua Franciscan) and Liz Van Hoose (Springfield, Ohio/Shawnee), the other co-captain, are the team's other two seniors. Both provided important leadership as the program gained varsity status after two years as a club organization.

Sophomore Ann Delaney (Buffalo Grove, Ill./Buffalo Grove), freshman Erica Bodnar (Columbus, Ohio/Upper Arlington), sophomore Callie Riley (Maitland, Fla./Winter Park) and sophomore Alex Pressler (Grosse Pointe Park, Mich./Grosse Pointe South) make up a strong nucleus of young golfers. They consistently scored for the team in the fall season.

Also vying for playing time are junior Meghan Lahner (Toledo, Ohio/Ottawa Hills) and sophomores Kari Fredriksen (Groton, Mass./Lawrence Academy), Kelly Prasser (Cincinnati, Ohio/Turpin), Whitney Adams (Aiken, SC/South Aiken) and Jennie Williams (Springfield, Ohio/Shawnee).

The team's schedule is filled with challenges, including tournaments that feature most of the top teams in the region. A highlight of the season will be the Spring Break trip to Hilton Head, S.C. The team has the privilege of playing at Berkeley Hall Club as a result of the efforts of Wittenberg graduate Ron Stansell.
