National search for next Carolyn Macow Leatherwood head coach to begin immediately
HOUSTON – Lydia Lasprilla will leave the University of Houston Women's Golf program to become the next head coach at Alabama, Vice President for Athletics Eddie Nuñez announced Saturday morning.
A national search for the Cougars' next Carolyn Macow Leatherwood Head Coach will begin immediately.
"We are grateful to Lydia for her dedication to our program. As an assistant coach and then the head coach, she worked tirelessly to elevate our program capped by this season's appearance at the NCAA Championships," Nunez said. "We wish Lydia all the best in the future."
Lasprilla became the second head coach in program history with her hiring in June 2021. As the head coach, she led Houston to four straight NCAA Regional team berths with the squad's first appearance at the NCAA Championships earlier this month.
The Cougars produced eight All-Conference honorees and captured four regular-season team championships with three student-athletes winning five individual tournament crowns during her tenure.
Off the course, twelve Cougars were named All-American Scholars by the Women's Golf Coaches Association with 24 receiving Conference All-Academic Recognition.
