TEEING OFF
The DBU Women's team begins defense of their national championship when they open the fall season on Monday at the Folds of Honor Challenge at The Meadows in Allendale, Michigan. The Patriots enter the 2025 fall season as the nation's No. 1 team, topping the Mizuno WGCA Coaches Poll after earning 16 of the possible 19 first-place votes.

Head Coach Kenny Trapp returns five members from last year's squad that captured the program's third NCAA Division II National Championship, while also adding a talented recruiting class featuring three true freshmen.
