Former University of Indianapolis standout
Brooke Beegle has joined the James Madison women's golf program as an assistant coach for the 2018-19 season, as announced by Head Coach
Tommy Baker on August 13, 2018.
"Brooke's character and playing experiences epitomize the qualities I see for our program moving forward," Baker said. "She brings a championship culture, both in and out of the classroom, having been a national champion, All-American and honor roll student-athlete during her career. She is a natural leader who will prove to be a huge asset for us. We have a shared vision for the JMU program and I very much look forward to Brooke joining us."
Beegle joins the Dukes after a standout collegiate golf career at the University of Indianapolis and Purdue. Beegle joined UIndy as a junior in 2014-15, immediately leading the Greyhounds to their first-ever national championship, finishing t-7th at the championships with a four-round total of 303 (+15).
As a senior, Beegle led the Greyhounds back to the championships, where they earned runner-up honors, after a 2015-16 campaign that saw her take home Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Year honors. She was also named All-East Region and All-America Honorable Mention by the Women's Golf Coaches Association.
After earning her degree at UIndy in 2017, Beegle joined the staff at Butler University as an external operations assistant in the ticketing department.
"I am very excited to get started with JMU Women's Golf," Beegle said. "I am looking forward to getting to work with Tommy and our student-athletes and I am very honored to have the opportunity to be part of the JMU community!"
The Dukes will open their 2018-19 season in their home state, traveling to the William & Mary Invitational on Sept. 9-10 in Williamsburg, Va.
