Lauren Harling was hired as head coach at Yale in 2019 following a successful stint at Indiana University, where she helped lead the Hoosiers to the school’s first NCAA Championship appearance since 2007.

Harling also serves as a member of the Yale Athletics Employee Affinity Groups Subcommittee.

She spent eight seasons on the staff at Indiana and was promoted to associate head coach in July of 2017. During her tenure, the Hoosiers made three appearances in the NCAA Regionals (2013, 2016, 2019). In 2019, IU finished 21^st in the nation, the school’s best finish since 1998, and in 2018 Erin Harper qualified for the NCAA Championship as an individual.

Mark Anderson has been the head coach of Penn women’s golf since August 2008. In that time, he has a record of 719-425-13 and has led the Quakers to 11 of their 12 all-time tournament titles (including the program’s only Ivy Championship crown). In addition, nine times during his career a Penn woman has won medalist honors at a tournament; prior to his arrival, that had happened just once in program history.

Also the Director of Instruction at St. Davids (Pa.) Golf Club since January 2020, Anderson has consistently been listed among the top golf instructors in the state of Pennsylvania by Golf Digest, most recently 10th in GD’s December 2021 edition.
 
The spring 2020 season was canceled due to the national Covid-19 outbreak. It was unfortunate for the Quakers, who seemed primed for a special season after they won two of their four fall tournaments (Penn State’s Nittany Lion Invitational and Delaware’s Blue Hen Invitational). The Blue Hen was the final fall event and Penn dominated the field, taking four of the top five individual spots led by freshman Susan Xiao earning medalist honors.

After not playing golf at all in 2020-21 due to Ivy League COVID-19 protocols, the Penn women swept the team and individual titles at Hartford’s Gillette Ridge Invitational (senior Mary Shin taking medalist honors); tied for first out of 15 teams at the Women’s Intercollegiate at Prospect Bay to start the spring; and was second among 12 teams at Delaware’s Lady Blue Hen Invitational to complete the fall.
