The University of Idaho has announced the hiring of Julia Goodson as the new Vandal Women’s Golf coach.
Goodson comes to Idaho after two years as the assistant coach at Washington State University, where she helped the Cougars earn a fifth-place finish at the West Coast Conference Championship last spring.
Before Washington State she served for one year as the assistant coach at East Tennessee State, her alma mater. She helped the Bucs finish fourth at the SoCon Championship.
She was a four-year Division I golfer, playing three seasons and earning her bachelor’s degree at perennial MAC Champion Kent State before transferring to East Tennessee for her senior season where she earned a master’s degree and helped lead the Bucs to a SoCon Championship, earning SoCon All-Conference honors in the process.
Goodson replaces former Idaho coach Stephanie Young, who spent four years in Moscow before being named Xavier women’s golf coach in July.
