Hall Named Husker Women’s Golf Head Coach – University of Nebraska

Lincoln – Three-time Missouri Valley Conference Coach-of-the-Year Breanne Hall has been named the next head coach of the Nebraska women’s golf program, Director of Athletics Troy Dannen announced on Thursday, May 15.

“We are thrilled to have Breanne Hall join us as the head coach of our women’s golf program,” Dannen said. “Breanne has built an impressive resume, first starting a program from the ground up at UNC Asheville, before raising the profile of Illinois State women’s golf to the top of the Missouri Valley Conference. She has great connections at all levels of the game and has a record of success recruiting student-athletes both throughout the United States and internationally. We look forward to Breanne’s leadership and exciting times ahead for Nebraska Women’s Golf!”

Hall, who won back-to-back MVC Coach-of-the-Year honors at Illinois State the past two seasons, led the Redbirds to three NCAA Tournament appearances over the past four seasons at ISU. She was also the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year.

“I am incredibly honored and grateful to accept the position as head women’s golf coach at the University of Nebraska. I want to sincerely thank Director of Athletics Troy Dannen, Deputy AD/Senior Woman Administrator Kristen Brown, and Associate Director of Compliance Jena Johnson for their belief in me and the vision we share for this program,” Hall said. “Nebraska is a place with deep tradition and pride, and I’m beyond excited for the opportunity to lead these student-athletes and build on the foundation of excellence that defines Husker Athletics. While I’m incredibly excited for this next chapter at Nebraska, I also want to take a moment to thank Illinois State and UNC Asheville. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities I had to grow as a coach and to lead so many outstanding student-athletes at both programs.”

Hall’s 2025 Illinois State team won the Missouri Valley Conference title by 31 strokes before finishing 11th at the NCAA Columbus Regional. Redbird Jinyoung Yun was named the MVC Golfer of the Year for the second straight season, while Morgan Jones was named MVC Newcomer of the Year and Elise Fennell was honored as the MVC Freshman of the Year.
