Why Lillie Chose USF:Â "USF was a school where I could get a great education and play the sport I loved at the highest collegiate level. The beautiful city was a bonus."
Favorite USF Memories: "I will always cherish my time at USF. I was able to travel across the west and play incredible golf courses including Sahalee, Cypress Point Club, Spyglass, Meadow Club, Olympic Club, San Francisco Golf Club, and more—with my best friends and teammates. We had so many good laughs and fun times during car rides, practices, team dinners, and adventures in the city that I will never forget. I will always be thankful for the USF coaching staff (Sarah Glynn and Jack Kennedy) and athletic department staff (Ben Metzler, Yvonne Gomez, Jake Agnus, and others) for their support."
The USF Student-Athlete Experience:Â "The camaraderie you build with your team through the good days and the bad. The resilience you learn from early morning practices and late night study sessions. The memories you make every day with seven of your best friends on incredible golf courses. The access you have to world-class trainers, nutritionists, and coaches."
