OREM, Utah – Head Utah Valley University women's golf coach Dr. Sue Nyhus announced on Wednesday the signing of four individuals during the early signing period. All four of the newcomers are current high school seniors and will come to UVU for the 2019-20 season. 
 
Of Nyhus' additions, a trio hail from the U.S. in Breann Brennan (Chandler, Ariz./Perry HS), Victoria Estrada (Henderson, Nev./Coronado HS) and Cassidy Gough (Aberdeen, S.D./Central HS), while Lauren Taylor will come to UVU via Australia (The Vines, Western Australia/Lone Peak HS). 
 
"We are very excited to announce our latest signing class. These are strong, athletic competitors who are eager to compete," Nyhus said. "It's a great day for the Wolverines."

Brennan was tabbed by the most improved player of the year as well as the sportsmanship award winner by the Junior Golf Association of Arizona.

She has also been named the Las Vegas Sun Stand-Out Award recipient as well as a Best of Nevada's Prep Award winner.

Estrada has carded a career-low score of 68.


 
Gough is a senior at Central High School in Aberdeen, S.D. She is a four-time first team all-state performer and a three-time all-conference award winner. She has also won the Spirit of Eagle Award twice as well as MVP honors and Rookie of the Year accolades. A season ago, she recorded 10 of 11 top-10 finishes on the season. Gough has helped her team to a pair of conference titles as well as back-to-back state runner-up honors. She also earned first team all-conference accolades in volleyball this fall as well.

She is a three-time all-state golfer that holds a pair of 6A individual state titles. She recorded rounds of 66 and 69 for an impressive 9-under-par during her latest individual state championship.
