GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado Women's Golf has added a strong, experienced competitor to its roster with the signing of Kendall Hayward, associate head coach Tina Barrett announced last week.
A native of Mesa, Arizona, Hayward joins the Bears after spending three seasons at the University of Montana, where she redshirted her freshman year due to medical reasons. She will continue her academic journey in Greeley, majoring in Communication Studies.
A 2022 graduate of Highland High School in Gilbert, Arizona, Hayward chose Northern Colorado because of the program's energy and atmosphere. "The team is extremely welcoming and competitive, and Coach Tina is super knowledgeable and will help me take my game to the next level," Hayward said.
Standing 5-foot-6, Hayward brings with her the drive and perspective of a student-athlete who has overcome adversity and is ready for the next challenge in her career.
