Fall Season Preview: Women's Golf

DEMOREST, Ga. - For the first time in the 2024-25 season, the Piedmont women's golf team will return to the links at the Joe & Lee Duncan Invitational on September 16-17.

Piedmont is coming off an exciting 2023-24 season that culminated in Erin Donovan capturing the USA South Individual Title and earning a bid to the NCAA DIII Tournament where she finished tied for 11th overall. 

Last year at the Joe & Lee Duncan Invitational, Erin Donovan won the event carding a 69 (-3) in the final round to finish -5 for the tournament. 

Her 69 tied the Piedmont low round and set the Piedmont record for low-to-par shooting going three under on the final round. She broke her own record from the same tournament in 2022 for the Piedmont 54-hole low score with a 211, shaving six strokes off her previous record. 

The team as a whole set the school record for low team round in the second round of the event with a 300.

This year, the Lions return four key components and added one freshman, Marissa Weaver, into the mix. 

Piedmont has three upperclassmen on the roster as Sarah Fox and Abigail Evans enter their senior year and Donovan returns for her third season with the Lions. Keegan Goins rounds out the Piedmont roster returning for her sophomore campaign. 

On the coaching side, Hannah Satterfield enters the start of her third season at the helm of the women's program.
