Hall Eager to Help Talented Young Huskers – University of Nebraska

The Nebraska women’s golf team enters a new era in 2025-26, as first-year Coach Breanne Hall leads the Huskers into the season.

Although Hall is new to the Nebraska program, she has an extensive record of success leading championship teams at the NCAA Division I level. A three-time Missouri Valley Conference Coach-of-the-Year, Hall won back-to-back MVC Coach-of-the-Year honors at Illinois State in 2024 and 2025. She also led the Redbirds to three NCAA Tournament appearances over the past four seasons. She was also the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year.

“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,” Hall said.

Hall’s 2025 Illinois State team won the Missouri Valley Conference title by 31 strokes before finishing 11th at the NCAA Columbus Regional. In 2024, Illinois State won the Missouri Valley Conference title by 12 strokes with Ali Schrock sharing the tournament title. The Redbirds went on to finish 12th at the NCAA East Lansing Regional. The Redbirds earned their first conference title under Hall’s direction in 2022 and their first MVC title in a decade, edging Missouri State by one stroke and capping the year with a 12th-place finish at the NCAA Stillwater Regional.

During her time at Illinois State, Hall coached three MVC Golfers of the Year and 15 all-conference selections. Her teams produced the five best single-season scoring averages in school history over the past five years.

Prior to taking over the top spot at Illinois State, Hall spent a season recruiting a roster before serving as the head coach for two seasons at UNC Asheville (2016-18). As the first head coach in history of the fledgling program, Hall led UNC Asheville to a pair of tournament titles in the first two seasons of the program’s existence. Her team posted a nine-stroke improvement in scoring average from year one to year two.

With a proven record of helping aspiring young golfers drastically improve their games, Hall inherits a Nebraska roster filled with nine returning players and one transfer who followed her from Illinois State.  However, among the 12 golfers on Nebraska’s roster, nine will be in either their first or second seasons as Huskers.

The lone senior on the roster is fifth-year Husker Brooke Bream, who has not played a round in Nebraska’s tournament lineup through her first four…
