Cullowhee, NC - Head women's golf coach Mallory Hetzel announced a pair of golfers that will join the Catamounts for the 2012-13 season, Taylor Allison (Elizabeth City, N.C. / Northeastern HS) and Mariah Hopkins (Greensboro, N.C. / Home Schooled) have signed National Letters of Intent to play with WCU.

"They are both very excited about the opportunity to represent WCU. We expect Taylor and Mariah to come in and contribute right away. They have the ability to add a lot to our team in terms of both leadership and enthusiasm." said Hetzel. "Taylor is a very unique talent. She plays with tremendous poise and consistency and is an excellent putter. I watched her play 10-to-12 rounds this past summer and never once saw her miss a putt inside of six feet," said Hetzel. "Mariah comes from a very athletic family. She possesses the rare combination of strength and touch. I have seen Mariah hit wedge shots that would make most people jealous. I really admire the way she always seems to play with a cool and confident attitude."
