Women’s golf coach retiring after noteworthy tenure

San Diego State women’s golf will be looking for a new head coach after Leslie Spalding announced her retirement on May 26.

Under Spalding, the Aztecs won two Mountain West Conference titles — one in 2015 (the first in program history) and the second in 2019.

Initially hired before the 2011-2012 season, the 2014-2015 MW Coach of the Year guided the Aztecs to nine regional bids in nine chances and sent at least one Aztec to all nine NCAA regional bids.

Spalding has a smattering of accolades to her name. During her nine-year tenure as head coach, SDSU amassed 44 top-five placements, 11 event titles, 23 individual All-MW honors, 17 weekly/monthly awards, three MW Golfers of the Year and three MW Freshman of the Year.
