The Sports Squad 5/28: AU women's golf prepares for the NCAA Division I championship
On this episode of The Sports Squad, eighth-year AU women's golf coach Caroline Haase-Hegg and standout freshman golfer Mirabel Ting talk to Dr. David Bulla about the Jaguars' advancing to the nationals. After losing senior Natalia Yoko to graduation and professional golf, Haas-Hegg went out and recruited Ting, who just led AU to a top-five finish in the NCAA Division I Athens Regional. That earned the Jaguars a spot in the national championship tournament in Scottsdale, Ariz., May 19-24. Ting, from Miri, Malaysia, was the Southland Conference player and freshman of the year, leading Augusta to its second straight SLC title--this time by a single stroke. She's also been named to the international team for the Arnold Palmer Cup, the Ryder Cup of collegiate golf. Ethan Balducci produces The Sports Squad; Dr. Bulla is the coordinating producer. TSS is recorded in the TVC Lab on the Summerville Campus of Augusta University. The opinions are those of the panelists, not Augusta University. Click on the start button below to play the podcast. —>
