Women's Golf Welcomes Three Newcomers In Class Of 2028

A trio of talented newcomers is set to join the Princeton women's golf team as members of the Class of 2028 as the Tigers ramp up for the 2024-25 season.

Nancy Dai, Olivia Duan and Abra Richmond comprise the class which has been ranked as high as No. 9 in the country by college golf recruiting ranking services.

"I am thrilled to welcome Nancy, Olivia and Abra to our program," said head coach Erika DeSanty. "They are going to be great additions to our group, not only on the course but off. They have competed as the highest levels of junior golf and won at every stop, and they have done so while growing as people and student-athletes in ways that perfectly match up with our culture as a group. I am so excited to have them on campus and can't wait to have everyone together at Springdale soon."
