As she prepares for her second season as Loyola women’s golf head coach, Carly Werwie said she’s more focused on helping improve scores instead of learning each golfer’s playing style. But she has an added challenge this time around: replacing Loyola’s lowest scorer.
Elayna Bowser graduated in May, taking her career 77.2 stroke average with her. Bowser, a two-time All-Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) selection, was the only Rambler to average less than 80 strokes per round last year.
But Loyola returns four golfers from its five-player lineup last year, and Werwie pointed to the MVC Championship when all qualifying scores — meaning the lowest four scores out of the five golfers — were under 80 through the first two rounds, which put the Ramblers 10 shots out of first place.
