Women’s Golf Opens 2025-26 Campaign Monday at Boilermaker Classic
August 30, 2025 | Women's Golf
MUNCIE, Ind. - - An experienced Ball State women's golf team will be put to an early test next week, when it opens the 2025-26 season Monday with the first two rounds of the Boilermaker Classic.
However, it's a test fourth-year head coach Cameron Andry and an experienced squad are looking to ace after another record-breaking performance last season.
"I think we're in a good spot right now," Andry said. "We return a lot of pieces from last year's team, giving us a lot of playing experience, which is nice. We've looked sharp so far in qualifying, but it's one thing to do it on courses you know well and when you know it doesn't matter much. It's a whole different thing when you go tee up with some of the best teams in the country, which is what we're going to do next week."
Last season was the second straight year the Cardinals set a new program standard for scoring average under Andry's leadership. The 2023-24 squad posted a program-best 303.61 average, nearly three strokes better than the previous record of 306.59 set in 2020-21. The mark was shattered again last season, with the team finishing at 301.66.
The best news, eight of the nine players from last season's squad are returning for the Cardinals this year, led by senior Jasmine Driscoll who became just the third player in program history to earn both medalist honors at the Mid-American Conference Championship and an individual berth to the NCAA Regional.
"I think experience matters," Andry added. "When you can go into a season, into each event with a group that knows what's coming, knows the challenges ahead, knows what is required of them in the daily preparation, it goes a long way. They can chart the course ahead because they've been down it before. I know they're excited and ready to go."
This season, the Cardinals have their sights set on a team berth to the NCAA Regionals and the drive starts Monday at the 6,299-yard, 72-par Kampen-Cosler Course at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette, Indiana. Ball State joins a 14-team field which features three top 50 programs and nine top 100 programs from a season ago.
Scheduled to join the Cardinals (160) and host Purdue (42) are Ole Miss (16), Georgia Southern (32), Kent State (52), Western Kentucky (63), Indiana (72), Xavier (78), Abeline Christian (93), Iowa (99), North Florida (111), Little Rock (139), Toledo (208) and Lehigh (222).
The two-day Boilermaker Classic will have student-athletes teeing off at 9 a.m. Monday in a shotgun start and continuous play for two rounds. Tuesday's final round will feature another 9 a.m. shotgun start.
Representing the Cardinals at the Kampen-Cosler Course will be Driscoll, fifth-year senior Sabrina Langerak, sophomore Sophie Korthuijs, senior Sarah Gallagher and junior JJ Gregston.
It is a talented group looking to build upon their legacies at Ball State. Driscoll enters the season with lowest career stroke average in program history at 75.97, while Gallagher is third (76.27) and Gregston is seventh (77.24).
Korthuijs turned in the 11th-best stroke average in a single season at 76.05 last year, while Langerak owns a 78.92 stroke average over her Ball State career which would rank in the top 20 in program history, but she is eight rounds shy of the minimum mark.
"I want to see us control the controllables this weekend," Andry said. "Our preparation has been good thus far and Sunday's practice round will be a big prep day. This group knows how we do that and knows what it's going to look like. Kampen-Cosler is a really challenging course, and once we tee it up, I want to see us compete with everything we have and give the best we have each day."
