The Wayne State University women’s golf team will begin its postseason at the 2026 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Championships, set to take place at Stonehedge North Golf Course in Augusta, Michigan on April 18 and 19.
The event marks a significant stage for the Warriors as they aim to advance their season. The tournament brings together eight teams from across the conference, with participants vying for both individual and team honors.
Head coach Larry Hamilton said, “The team and I are really looking forward to competing at the Stonehedge North Golf Course. We played well there this fall and we’ve had some really good history there. We also should be able to get outside this week and practice, which always helps. I think everyone’s game is really starting to come together at the right time.”
The competition format includes 36 holes on Saturday followed by an additional 18 holes on Sunday morning for stroke play, which determines the individual Medalist Honor. The top two teams after these rounds will then compete head-to-head in Medal Match Play Championship later that day.
Wayne State’s lineup features Sonia Bayahya, Amiyah Gibson, Ting-Yu Kuo, and Clara Laffitte. According to the official website, Wayne State Warriors Women’s Golf is affiliated with Wayne State University according to the official website.
