Last Time Out

Then-junior Madelyn Gamble concluded the 2024 NCAA Cle Elum Regionals in Washington. Gamble was the sixth WSU women’s golfer in program history to earn an individual selection for an NCAA Regional.

Gamble joins Hobgood, Alivia Brown (2018), Tasha Browner (2001), Eryn Remington (1994), and Becky Fossum as the only WSU women’s golfers to play at the NCAA Regionals as an individual.
