Elizabeth Davis has led the Amherst College women’s golf team since 2016 and became head coach of the men’s golf team in 2020. Her Mammoths won the NESCAC Women’s Golf Championship for the first time in program history in 2022, earning the Mammoths their third trip to the NCAA Division III Championships in Davis’ six-year tenure (no championship was held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Davis was honored as both the NESCAC Women’s Golf Coach of the Year and the WGCA Division III East Region Coach of the Year for the second time in 2022 after a season in which the Mammoths won three tournaments, including both the NESCAC Fall Qualifier and the NESCAC Championship. At the NCAA Championships, the Mammoths finished 12th in the nation as Jessica Huang ’25 carded a 68 in the final round to match the lowest round in tournament history. Amherst swept the NESCAC’s major awards as Huang was named Rookie of the Year and Gihoe Seo ’25 earned Golfer of the Year honors, while both Huang and Seo were also named All-Americans.

Davis previously earned the same coaching honors after her debut season in 2017 as the Amherst women earned their first bid to the national championships since 2009 and finished ninth in the nation. The following season, she led the Mammoths to a 14th-place finish at the NCAA Championships.
