The Milligan women's golf squad was selected 11th in the most recent NAIA Coaches' Top 25 following the conclusion of their fall season

November 1, 2024

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - On Thursday evening, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics released the second Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 of the 2024-25 campaign. Milligan came in at No. 11 nationally in the ranking, following the conclusion of their fall campaign at the AAC Fall Preview in Acworth, Ga., with a third-place showing out of nine teams. The rating was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences. Each conference is represented by one rater. The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place and so on through the list.

Milligan earned 298 points in the poll, and dropped one spot from their previous mark at No. 10 in the nation. The Buffs are looking forward to their spring season in 2025 to continue to move up the rankings and surge for a conference title.
