Kokomo, Ind.), Macky Laughlin (Sr., Richmond, Ind.), Erin Wright (So., Muncie, Ind.), and Mary Kaitlyn Bauer (FY, Oklahoma City, Okla.) etched their names in the Earlham Women's Golf Record Book at the 2026 HCAC Championship.

The Quakers finished in 5th place with a score of 1110 (+234) in the three-day, 54-hole event. The score shattered the record of 1166 (+302) set by the 2020-21 squad led by Claire Waggener ('22). The 5th place finish is also the team's best finish in the HCAC since the 2018 squad led by Hannah Toresdahl ('20), and Emma Wilkins ('20) finished in 4th place.

The squad was led by Izzy Flint who finished in 8th position with a score of +37. Erin Nolan of Rose-Hulman won the individual title at +14. Macky Laughlin concluded their collegiate career by finishing in 22nd place. Transylvania University will represent the HCAC in the NCAA Championship in Palm Desert, Calif.

"It was an eventful, emotional week," said Head Coach Matt Brown. "Seeing the growth of this squad over the last three years has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. With two sophomores and two first-years in the starting line-up, we are ready to raise the bar higher."

The Quakers open the season next year at the Trine Kick-off Classic in Angola, Indiana on September 1 in a short 114 days.
