INTRO SEASON PREVIEW
PREVIEWSEASON
The 2012-13 LSU women’s golf team is small in numbers this year, but all six players will all have the chance to contribute meaningful rounds that will be a key factor in the success of this year’s team.
The Lady Tigers will have new faces and will overall be younger than in some past years, but this is a team with credentials to continue in time the success of years past.
But Coach Karen Bahnsen knows that the college golf season is a long and lengthy journey and Bahnsen and Assistant Alexis Rather will develop this LSU team so that it is reaching its peak when the spring season is beginning to point toward post-season play.
Returnees
Madelene Sagstrom made the All-SEC Freshman team a year ago and the Swedish star showed many times that she is going to be a possible contender every time she tees it up. The Louisiana Freshman of the Year, played in every round a year ago for the Lady Tigers and averaged 73.6 for the season (third on the team and the leading returning scorer).
She was also a part of the third-place team at the NCAA Championships and had an
outstanding post-season in which she finished solo fourth at the SEC Championships (+7, 223), tied for eighth in the NCAA West Regional (+1, 217) and three counting rounds in the 72-hole NCAA Championships (70-72-74).
Sagstrom had two other top five finishes on the year, for a total of four, and 14 rounds of par or under.
Also earning post-season honors for her first year of play a year ago is junior Lindsay Gahm of Louisville, Ky. Gahm played every round for LSU during the 2012-13 season, earning Louisiana Newcomer of the Year for first-year non-freshman players in the state. Gahm had a very solid year, averaging 76.2 per round. She provided lots of counting scores that helped LSU to four team wins a year ago and success through the post-season. This past summer, the transfer from Indiana was a wire-to-wire winner of the Kentucky Women’s Open at 5-under 141.
LSU’s third returnee transferred last season from LSU after two years at San Francisco and she will be asked to step into a bigger role this year. Katrina Hegge will be the lone senior on the LSU team. The Seattle, Wash., native played in four tournaments a year ago with a 77.9 stroke average.

SEASON PREVIEW
Newcomers
The Lady Tigers welcome a solid transfer and two freshmen for the 2012-13 season. With six on the roster, all three will probably have roles in the success of this year’s LSU team.
Ali Lucas played her first two years at Louisiana-Monroe and took 2.5 strokes off her average from the freshman to sophomore years, from 78.48 to 75.90. Lucas had six career top 10 finishes for the Lady Warhawks, including a win at the Claud Jacobs Challenge at 9-over 224. This followed the previous tournament when she posted a second place finish.
Lucas is a native of Crowley and multiple prep state championships at Notre Dame High School in Crowley.
Also with multiple prep state honors is freshman Elise Bradley of Mandeville and Mandeville High School. A winner of three state championships, she (like Lucas) is a winner of the Louisiana Women’s Amateur title. She also has won three Louisiana Girls Junior Amateur championships as well in her decorated career.
LSU’s third newcomer hails from Vienna, Austria, Nadine Dreher. Dreher has solid credentials as part of the Austrian National team. She also participated in the international field that gathered in Miami in 2011 for the Doral-Publix championship as part of the First Tee program. She also caddied for former LSU golfer Jacqueline Hedwall’s twin sister, Caroline, when she won her third Ladies European Tour event in Austria in 2011.
The Schedule
Coach Karen Bahnsen has always tried to have her team play a variety of teams on a variety of courses and this year is no exception. She feels this will prepare her team for what lies ahead at the end of the season.
Featured in the opening part of the schedule is the annual Fall Preview at a course LSU is very familiar with at the University of Georgia. After defending its title at the Lady Tar Heel Invitational, LSU closes out the fall at a first-time event for LSU to play in, the Alamo Invitational in San Antonio.
In the spring are some events that are time-tested and some events quickly becoming must-play events for teams, starting with a return to the Tulane Sugar Bowl Classic at the outstanding English Turn Golf Club in New Orleans. From there, it will be on to Hilton Head Island for the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate. That event is put on by the University of South Carolina and the longtime superstar singer over a very difficult Long Cove Club.
March brings the Lady Tigers back home to Baton Rouge to the University Club for the long-standing LSU Tiger Golf Classic. A strong field of 14 teams, including several past winners of the event will be on hand as LSU looks to win the event for the eighth time overall. An early April stop in Oxford, Miss., will close out the spring.
The SECs will start post-season play in the first year of a new era in the championships that will see the event played on a neutral site in Birmingham at the prestigious Greystone Country Club. From there the Lady Tigers will go on to regional play and hopefully back to the NCAA Championships in Athens.
For the Lady Tigers and Coach Bahnsen, it just means another year of following the path of a little white ball that hopefully stays more on fairways and greens.

SEASON
REVIEWHow do you compare the 2011 LSU women’s golf season to 2012‘s just completed season? It would have to be argued that you don’t compare, you congratulate what were arguably two of the greatest teams in the 30-plus years of women’s golf at LSU. A second consecutive third place finish right on the cusp of a national title and four team wins made 2012 an outstanding season for Coach Karen Bahnsen and her Lady Tigers and the success of the season, like 2011, started early.

It is the firsttimeinschoolhistorythatthedirectorofathletics has also held a vice chancellorposition. Alleva is currently serving a five-yeartermontheprestigiousNCAAMen’sBasketball Committee, reinforcing hisposition as one of the most respectedathleticadministratorsinthecountry. Upon his arrival at LSU, Allevaunveiled a strategic master plan for theLSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru andTrue” -- to ensure the advancement andfuture of LSU Athletics as an exemplaryprogram.Thecentralmissionoftheplanistocreateanenvironmentforstudent-athletestoreachtheirultimatepotential,preparethemtobechampionsinlifeandtosetoutgoalsandvaluesfortheentireathleticsprogram.
