Golf: UVSC signs four to its women's program
Utah Valley State College started its women's golf program just a few years ago, but already the Wolverines are attracting some top in-state players.

The school announced Tuesday that it has signed four more female golfers.

Weber State transfer Erika Baldwin, Dakota Wesleyan transfer Abby Wheeling and twin sisters from Cottonwood High in Salt Lake County, Monica and Stephanie Fox, have signed with UVSC.

Outgoing coach Denise Larson said the combination of the incoming recruits and the returning players will make the Wolverines more formidable than they've ever been.

Baldwin is from Idaho Falls, Idaho, and just completed her sophomore season at Weber State. She tied for 34th at the Big Sky Championships in April.

Wheeling will be a sophomore. She tied for 73rd out of 120 players at the NAIA national championships.

Stephanie Fox recently won the Hidden Valley Country Club Invitational with a 76. Monica Fox shot a 77 at the state tournament to finish tied for 9th.

Tooele's Sadie Palmer, the 4A/5A state champion last month at Davis Park, has signed with Southern Utah University, which also has a relatively new women's golf program.

Yikes. I opened this up thinking it would be something about basketball or football and it turns out to be women's golf at UVSC.

One thing I'll say about you, Jay, you're very good at giving a wide variety of sports (and athletes) their time in the spotlight.
