WASHINGTON - Georgetown University Head Women's Golf Coach Katie Brophy announced the team's schedule for the 2012-13 academic year, starting with four tournaments in the fall and concluding with six tournaments in the spring, including the team's annual Hoya Invitational as well as trips to Florida and Arizona.
Brophy, who recently completed her first season as head coach, led the Hoyas to three top-10 finishes in five tournaments during the spring season and had six top-10 showings during the 2011-12 season.
"This is a challenging schedule for what will be a very young team," Brophy said. "It's going to be a great experience for these young women to see what the best teams in the country do to prepare and I'm confident we're going to have some success along the way."
The Hoyas open the 2012-13 season on Sunday, Sept. 9, competing in the Golfweek Preview, a showcase event in Pawleys Island, S.C. The three-day, 54-hole tournament runs through Tuesday, Sept. 11 and features 12 teams.
