Beth Hubbard has been named interim head coach of the UW Oshkosh women’s golf program, assistant chancellor and director of athletics Darryl Sims announced Thursday.
Hubbard, the fifth head coach in UW Oshkosh women’s golf history, will assume the role July 1. An assistant professor in the UW Oshkosh radio TV film department, Hubbard has been a Titans women’s golf Team Fellow since 2017, assisting student-athletes in their academic progressions throughout their careers.
Hubbard was a four-year member and captain of the Alma College (Michigan) women’s golf team until graduating in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and theater. Hubbard received a Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Coach’s Award for three consecutive years and team most valuable player honors during her collegiate playing career.
Hubbard’s golf experience also includes serving as assistant director and course pro at the Oxford Hills Golf Club in Oxford, Michigan, from 2013-15.
Hubbard assumes leadership of the UWO women’s golf program from Liza Ruetten, who is retiring after guiding the Titans for eight successful seasons that included a WIAC championship and an NCAA Division III Championship appearance during the 2015-16 campaign.
Hubbard, who earned a master’s degree in film production from Chapman University (California) in 2012, will remain an assistant professor in the UWO radio TV film program. Hired in 2016 as an assistant professor at UWO, Hubbard was a 2020 recipient of the UW System Board of Regents Teaching Excellence Award.
UWO, which begins the 2020-21 season by hosting the Titan Classic on Sept. 5-6 at the Oshkosh Country Club, won WIAC titles and made Division III Championship appearances in 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2015-16.
