HEAD COACH LINDSEY ORTH: Lindsey Orth (Utah Tech, 2007) begins her 10th season as head coach of the Trailblazer women's golf program. 
        Last season, Coach Orth finished its fifth season of NCAA Division I play with four top-5 showings in nine team events, highlighted by a t-second place finish at the Utah Valley Wigwam Preview in February (2/2-4/25), and a seventh-place showing at the 2025 WAC Championships. 
        Prior to her arrival at Utah Tech, she served as assistant golf professional at the Sand Hollow Golf Resort, and as an LPGA assistant teaching professional for the City of St. George. Orth also spent two seasons on the coaching staff of the Hurricane High School girl's golf program, including a one-year stint as the Tigers' head coach in the 2010-11 season. 
        Coach Orth, who is an apprentice member of the LPGA T&CP, played collegiately at the University of Central Arkansas, where she helped lead the Bears to six-consecutive team tournament wins and a Gulf South Conference championship.
 
THIS YEAR'S SQUAD: Utah Tech returns all eight members of last season's team, and added one newcomer, to its 2025-26 roster. 
        Five of the eight returnees played in all nine team events last season, including seniors Jenna Anderson and Jane Olson, along with juniors Mia Cesarek and Samantha Phelan, and sophomore Maria Purroy Galan.
        Utah Tech also welcomed back redshirt junior Samira Salinas, and redshirt freshmen Riley Doherty and Gabrielle Roznicki, and added Canadian freshman Coryn Tardif to this year's roster. 
Heading into UVU's season-opening tourney, Cesarek, Phelan, Anderson, Purroy Galan, and Salinas will be the five who will tee it up for Utah Tech. In addition, Doherty and Olson will play as individuals.
