MARSHALL, Minn. – Southwest Minnesota State University head women's golf coach Ross Webskowski announced today that three high school standouts have signed letters of intent to continue their academic and golf careers at SMSU.
 
Joining the SMSU program for the 2019 fall season include Natalie Bohnert from Petersburg, Ind., Sally Gallagher from Moville, Iowa, and Sydney Noel from Northfield, Minn.

 
"We are thrilled to add Natalie, Sally and Sydney to our team and look forward to them joining us next fall," Webskowski said. "They have the characteristics we want in our program and will fit in well with our current golfers. We are excited to have them join the Mustang family."
 
Bohnert, a senior at Pike Central High School, earned all-conference honors three times and was a three-time regional qualifier during her four-year career. The school record holder for lowest nine-hole and 18-hole scores, she was the section champion and a state qualifier during her senior season this fall.
 
Bohnert will also compete for the recently reinstated women's swimming and diving team at SMSU, which will begin competition during the 2019-20 academic year.
 
"Natalie is a talented golfer who is fairly new to the game of golf and has potential to become a great golfer," Webskowski said. "She had a great senior season this past fall and we look forward to building off of that. I am also excited for Natalie as she will be a multi-sport athlete at SMSU by joining the swim program."

 
Gallagher, a senior at Woodbury Central High School, begins her senior season in 2019 having earned all-conference honors three times, including winning the conference individual title in 2018. She is a three-time state qualifier, including finishing fourth at the 2018 Iowa Class 1A Tournament. Gallagher, who finished with a 41.8 nine-hole stroke average and an 84.4 18-hole average during her junior season, has earned first team all-state honors in both 2016 and 2018.
 
"Sally is an accomplished athlete who has the competitiveness to become a very successful college golfer," Webskowski said. "She is a great student and well-rounded person who will fit in well at SMSU. I look forward to having Sally bring her leadership skills to our program."
 
Gallagher is also a multi-year letter winner in softball, basketball and cross country. 
 
Noel is a senior at Northfield High School and has a stroke average of 90 during his first two varsity seasons. She was a member of last season's conference championship and section runner-up squad and is a two-time medalist on the Minnesota Junior PGA circuit. She has also been a letter winner in both gymnastics and tennis during her career.
 
"Sydney comes from a very successful high golf program," Webskowski said. "She is a strong athlete who is a hard worker. Sydney hits the ball with great length and is a good putter. I am excited to watch Sydney develop into a good college golfer."
