The Pioneers men’s and women’s golf program got off to a great start in its first year, highlighted by three men’s team wins and an individual win by Colby Unruh. The women finished an impressive first year led by Maeva Fardel with three top-15 finishes. This strong start builds anticipation for how far golf will go at MNU!
