Historical Note
Wake Forest fielded its first intercollegiate women's golf team in 1971. Wake Forest University fielded its inaugural intercollegiate women's golf team in 1971. Golf was among the earliest sports at the institution to award athletic scholarships to female athletes. Alongside women's basketball and volleyball, the golf team played under the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). The team was also a member of the state AIAW chapter, the North Carolina AIAW (NCAIAW). Following the dissolution of the AIAW, the women's golf team began competing under the governance of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
In response to the mandates of Title IX, Marjorie (Marge) Crisp was appointed Director of Women's Athletics, a position she held until 1974. Crisp was also the first full-time female faculty member at the university. She retired from teaching in 1977 but continued coaching golf until 1983. Amy Geithner, a pioneering member of the women's golf team and one of the first female student-athletes at Wake Forest to receive an athletic scholarship, succeeded Crisp as the women's golf coach in 1983. Geithner resigned from the position in 1985. She was succeeded by Mary Beth McGuirr, who served as head coach from 1985 to 1988.
In 1988, Dianne Dailey joined Wake Forest as both the women's golf coach and the Director of Women's Athletics. In 1999, she resigned from her administrative role to focus on coaching and remained in that role until 2018. Over her 30-year coaching career, Dailey led the Demon Deacons women's golf team to four ACC titles, thirty team championships, thirty-eight individual titles, and fifteen appearances in the NCAA Championships. She was named ACC Coach of the Year four times and received the LPGA Coach of the Year award in 2001.
Since Dailey's retirement, the women's golf program has been led by Kim Lewellen. During her tenure, Lewellen has secured one NCAA championship, two ACC titles, and has been recognized as NCAA Coach of the Year in 2023 and ACC Coach of the Year in 2019, 2022, and 2024.
Individual title winners include Stephanie Neill, Marta Prieto, Emilia Migliaccio, Cheyenne Woods, Michelle Shin, and Rachel Kuehn and Brenda Corrie-Kuehn.
