The Pepperdine women’s golf team has selected a new assistant coach. Katie Mitchell, a recent graduate of the University of Louisville, will replace Leanne Craig. Mitchell graduated from Louisville in Spring 2016, where she played for two seasons for the Cardinals and earned Atlantic Coast Conference All-Academic honors. She previously coached with the First Tee program in California and Kentucky and assisted at various camps and clinics throughout her college career. Staff at Pepperdine said they believe Mitchell’s energetic personality will add to the team. Mitchell said she is looking forward to taking on the position.
“I fell in love with Pepperdine the moment I visited. The people I will be working with already seem like family,” Mitchell said.
