The Seahawks have picked up their 2015-16 season on the same note they ended last season. The Seahawks returned to the site of the 2015 NAIA National Championship in Pooler, GA for the 2015 NAIA Fall Preview just a few weeks ago. The Seahawks stormed through the field to post their third win in three events on the course. Caroline Retabi paced the field with scores of 70-75 to win by two strokes and teammate Sabrina Schloo fired scores of 77-73 to finish on the NAIA Preview All- Tournament Team. The Seahawks ended their 2015 fall campaign with three players ranked in the NAIA top 10: Elsa Westin (5th), Caroline Retabi (6th), and Sabrina Schloo (8th).

The NAIA women's golf season kicks back into full gear on February 7th, 2016 when the lady Seahawks travel to the World Golf Hall of Fame Slammer & Squire Course to play in a stacked NCAA Division II field hosted by Flagler University.   
 
"The ring ceremony was a great moment for our women's golf team. We have to give a big thank you to our entire athletic department staff for all of the work that went into the ceremony. I would also like to thank all of the alumni who came to support the team at the ceremony; our golf program has come a long way in the last several years and our recent alumni have all been amazing ambassadors for our team in the local community and around the world. Winning the National Championship wouldn't have been possible without the foundation laid by everyone who has been a part of our golf program. The ceremony a great moment for our team that I hope they will all cherish for years to come." said Head Coach Brandon Miller who was named 2015 NAIA National Coach of the Year after the National Championship.
 
Bri LaFoca said, "We all have been waiting for this day since the tournament in May. Being back here for the ring ceremony with all of my teammates again reintroduced all the same feelings we had when we won the title. This is one of the proudest moments for the team, and myself, and I would not have missed it for anything."
