Summer Batiste – UTSA Head Coach
A former standout player for the UTSA women’s golf program, Summer Batiste is entering her eighth season as head coach after spending the previous three years as an assistant coach.
During her time leading the program, Batiste has led the Roadrunners to seven tournament titles — including a pair of conference championships — and six NCAA postseason team and or individual appearances. A two-time conference coach of the year, she has coached her student-athletes to three individual league crowns and 14 all-conference certificates. Under her leadership, Camryn Carreon became the first Roadrunner to advance to the NCAA Championships in 2022 and she repeated that feat in 2023 after claiming the NCAA San Antonio Regional individual crown.
UTSA also has taken care of business in the classroom, as the program placed 37 student-athletes on the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll over a six-year stretch while collecting a total of 14 C-USA Academic Medals for a 3.75-or-better cumulative GPA. The Roadrunners have earned three spots on Conference USA All-Academic Teams and have garnered nine Women's Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar awards during her tenure. They also have received three NCAA Public Recognition Awards for posting an Academic Progress Rate among the top 10 percent nationally within the sport.
Batiste guided the Roadrunners to a conference championship and an NCAA postseason appearance in her first season at the helm in 2017-18. UTSA captured the 2018 C-USA team title with an 874 to finish 13 strokes ahead of runner-up UTEP behind a 1-2 finish from Julie Houston and Ana Gonzalez. The Roadrunners advanced to the NCAA Austin Regional, where they finished 12th with an 892 (298-295-299) behind a 29th-place tie from Gonzalez.
Batiste, who led UTSA to four top-five finishes during the 2017-18 campaign, was voted Conference USA Coach of the Year by her peers. Houston collected first-team all-conference honors and Gonzalez was named the league’s Freshman of the Year and second-team all-conference. Additionally, Houston and Nikki Long garnered Conference USA All-Academic Team accolades.
Batiste led the Roadrunners to three team titles, including their second straight conference crown, and four additional top-five finishes in 2018-19. UTSA won the season-opening Lady Maxwell Invitational and also finished atop the leaderboard at the Texas State Invitational. The Roadrunners successfully defended their league championship in April, as Gonzalez fired a 9-under 207 (69-67-71) to win by five shots and give UTSA back-to-back conference medalists, while the team carded a 10-under 854 to finish 12 strokes ahead of runner-up Charlotte. The Roadrunners advanced to their second straight NCAA postseason, finishing 14th at the Norman Regional.
Gonzalez garnered first-team all-conference honors and Houston picked up second-team accolades in 2018-19 to become the fourth Roadrunner to earn all-league plaudits in each of her four seasons. Houston also earned a spot on the C-USA All-Academic Team for the second straight year.
In 2019-20, Batiste guided UTSA to a pair of tournament titles and an individual crown in a shortened season that saw Gonzalez collect third-team all-conference accolades. The Roadrunners captured their second straight Texas State Invitational championship behind individual medalist Hannah Holzmann in February. The following month, UTSA won the team title at its annual home tournament, the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational, behind a 2-3 finish from Carreon and Holzmann. That event was the last of the campaign, as all spring sport competition and championships were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In her fourth season, UTSA posted a pair of runner-up team finishes and earned an at-large berth to the NCAA postseason, where they finished 13th at the Louisville Regional. Carreon and Holzmann garnered second-team all-conference honors, while Gonzalez was voted to the third team to become the fifth Roadrunner to collect four all-conference certificates.
In 2021-22, Batiste led UTSA to six top-five team finishes including the Chattanooga Classic title and runner-up showings at the Conference USA Championship and Maryb S. Kauth Invitational. The Roadrunners earned their fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA postseason with an at-large bid to the Franklin Regional, finishing a program-best sixth with an 875.
Four Roadrunners landed on the all-conference teams with Carreon and Gonzalez collecting first-team accolades and Hunter Nugent and Nicole Polivchak receiving third-team nods. Carreon was the league runner-up and she tied for fourth at the Franklin Regional to earn an spot in the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Arizona, becoming the first UTSA golfer to advance to that stage of the postseason.
In 2022-23, Batiste guided the Roadrunners to five top-10 team finishes including a third-place showing at the Conference USA Championship, the program's 15th consecutive top-four league finish.
Individually, Carreon was named first-team all-conference and captured the NCAA San Antonio Regional individual title by six shots, firing a 10-under 206 (71-67-68) on TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships for the second straight year. It was her second win of the spring, as the San Antonio native also claimed top honors at the Trinity Forest Invitational in March with a program-record 14-under 202 that was capped with a 7-under 65. Carreon also broke UTSA's single-season marks for scoring average (72.54) and par-or-better rounds (19).
Additionally, Daniela Abonce collected third-team all-conference accolades as a true freshman, while Morgan Ellison was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team and she joined Lauren Rios as WGCA All-American Scholars.
In 2023-24, Batiste guided UTSA to six top-five finishes and two individuals to the NCAA postseason for the first time in program history. Abonce became the sixth UTSA player — and third in the Batiste era — to capture a conference title when she fired a 9-under 207 (66-72-69) to win the American Athletic Conference title. Abonce and Carreon, who both were named to the all-conference team, earned berths to the NCAA Bryan Regional where they finished 17th (219) and 37th (225), respectively.
The Roadrunners established 15 school records during the 2023-24 campaign, including low round (-15/273), low 36-hole total (557) and low 54-hole total (837). Carreon broke or tied 10 UTSA standards in her final season including low round (-8/64), single-season scoring average (71.19) and career average (73.12).
Batiste was named the third head coach in program history in July 2017 after a three-year tenure as an assistant coach.
In her third and final season as assistant coach in 2016-17, Batiste helped guide the Roadrunners to four top-five finishes. UTSA won the Texas State Invitational, finished second at the Hawkeye El Tigre Invitational, claimed third at the Conference USA Championship and took fifth at the BYU at Entrada Classic. Long and Aimee Ponte garnered second-team all-conference honors, while Houston was named to the third team.
In 2015-16, Batiste helped lead UTSA to five top-five finishes, including the Islanders Classic team title and a fourth-place effort at the C-USA Championship. Houston, who was named C-USA Freshman of the Year and second-team all-conference, became the first Roadrunner to win back-to-back tournaments when she came out on top at the All There August Challenge and Islanders Classic in February. Long also was named second-team all-conference.
Batiste helped guide a young squad to four top-10 finishes in 2014-15, including a pair of third-place efforts in the final month of the campaign. Led by a sixth-place showing from Ponte and a tie for seventh by Long, the Roadrunners claimed the bronze at the C-USA Championship. Brogan Townend earned third-team all-conference accolades for the second consecutive year.
Prior to her time as an assistant coach, Batiste was an assistant golf professional at San Antonio Country Club.
Batiste was a four-year letterwinner from 2007-12 and served as team captain her final two seasons. She earned second-team All-Southland Conference honors in both 2010 and 2011. She shared individual medalist honors with teammate Taylor Newlin at the 2012 Islander Classic after shooting a 75-74-71—220 and she posted four additional top-five finishes during her career. Batiste was a three-time winner of the UTSA Weight Room Warrior Award and her career scoring average of 77.64 ranks fourth on UTSA's all-time list.
A native of Spring, Texas, Batiste was a four-year letterwinner at Klein Collins High School, where she was a three-time medalist, the district runner-up and an eighth-place finisher at the regional tournament as a senior.
Batiste earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from UTSA in May 2012.
Jill Trujillo – UNM Head Coach
Success on the course. Success in the classroom. That has been the hallmark of Jill Trujillo’s era of Lobo women’s golf. As she enters her 18th season as the head coach of the University of New Mexico in 2024-25, she has established a program that is respected nationally for championship play on the course and annually the best GPA of any team in the nation.

Academically, Trujillo’s squad finished atop the nation in GPA for the third straight season with the 2020-21 Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-Scholar Team Award. The team posted an outstanding 3.993 overall GPA after recording the second-highest GPA in Lobo women’s golf history of 4.02 in the spring semester. It marked the fifth straight semester for UNM with a GPA over 3.90 and the 38th semester over a 3.0.

“I am so proud of the young ladies who become Lobos and accept the challenge of our program,” Trujillo said. “We develop golfers who have a chance to succeed on the professional level, but we also see them contribute as vibrant members of society. It’s really an honor for me to be able to coach these types of student-athletes.”

Greg Robertson – OSU Head Coach
Former Cowboy golfer and four-time Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year Greg Robertson is in his fifth season as the head coach of the Cowgirl golf program.
Robertson's resume speaks for itself. In his 11-year tenure as a head coach, Robertson's teams have won 38 tournaments and eight conference titles, including two Big 12 Conference championships. He's coached nine WGCA All-Americans, three straight Big 12 Player of the Year award winners in 2021, 2022 and 2023, six MAC conference golfers of the year and seven conference tournament medalists. He also coached Kent State to the NCAA Championships in each of his last three seasons with the program, where they advanced to match play twice.
He wasted little time in getting the OSU program pointed in the right direction. In his first year in Stillwater, Robertson helped Isabella Fierro blossom into an All-American. Just a freshman in 2019-20, Fierro posted the second lowest single-season stroke average in school history and won the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational in record-breaking fashion.
As for the rest of the team, Robertson helped three Cowgirls earn WGCA All-American Scholar honors and five OSU players notch a spot on the Academic All-Big 12 team. Three Cowgirls have won an individual event title in Robertson's short time at OSU, and the Cowgirls were victorious in their first team event under Robertson - the Trinity Forest Invitational.
In all, Robertson has coached 15 different players to 42 individual victories.
Following the canceled 2019-2020 campaign, the Cowgirls have reached the NCAA Championships in each eligible season under Robertson. Oklahoma State posted a runner-up finish – matching its program-best – in the 2020-21 season, placed 19th in 2021-22 and came in at 11th last season.
Robertson has led the Cowgirls to a pair of Big 12 Conference championships in his tenure, taking home hardware in 2021 and 2023. He also guided Maddison Hinson-Tolchard to the individual championship last season.
As a Cowboy, Robertson was a teammate of OSU men’s golf coach Alan Bratton on the 1995 NCAA Championship squad and a letterman on the 1996 Big Eight championship team.
Kent State entered the 2019 NCAA Championships ranked No. 5 in the GolfStat national rankings after taking home their first regional title, sweeping the NCAA East Lansing Regional with a 4-under 860. Four of the five All-MAC First Team selections went to Kent State golfers in 2019.
Robertson helped the Kent State program peak at the right time – the postseason. The Golden Flashes advanced to the NCAA Championships in each of his last three seasons, with match play appearances at Rich Harvest Farms in 2017 and Karsten Creek in 2018. In fact, Kent State earned program-best fifth-place finishes in 2017 and 2018.
Under Robertson, the Golden Flashes set the school record for wins in a season three times, lowered the team scoring average to a program-best 288.15 in 2019 and posted the lowest individual and team scores in MAC history.
His resume in the classroom is just as impressive. Robertson has coached 12 WGCA All-American Scholars and 14 Academic All-MAC selections, and his squads have earned multiple NCAA Public Recognition Awards.
“Oklahoma State is a very special place to me, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be in Stillwater,” Robertson said. “If there’s one place that I would call my ‘dream job,’ this is it. I can’t wait to compete for national championships. A lot of great things are happening with Oklahoma State athletics, and I’m proud to be part of it.”
Robertson joined the Golden Flashes from Purdue where he was the associate head coach for 11 seasons, working with both the men’s and women’s programs. He was honored with the Jan Strickland Assistant Coach of the Year Award in 2005, which is given to the best assistant coach in the country.
Purdue advanced to the NCAA Championships during each year of his tenure on staff. The Boilermakers captured the 2010 national title and Maria Hernandez was the NCAA individual champion in 2009. Overall, the Purdue women's golf team had five top-5 NCAA finishes, one NCAA Regional title, and five Big Ten titles with Robertson on staff.
Purdue also boasted 16 All-American selections, seven Big Ten medalists, six Big Ten Player of the Year recipients, and 40 All-Big Ten selections during that time. The Boilermakers were one of just two programs to earn a top-10 finish at each of the NCAA Championships from 2006-13.
In his time with both Kent State and Purdue, Robertson has consistently led student-athletes to the top level of professional golf. Seven players under Robertson have earned their LPGA card, with Jennifer Ha becoming the first player in Kent State history to earn her card in 2017. In addition, former Purdue players Adam Schenk and Tyler Duncan earned their PGA card, while Shiv Kapur competed on the European Tour. In fact, Duncan won the PGA Tour's 2019 RSM Classic.
Robertson also has extensive experience as a caddy. He carried the bag for his sister, JoJo, at the 1998 U.S. Women's Open, where she tied for 59th as an amateur, and was also on the bag for Karoline Stormo at the 2019 U.S. Women's Open.
His work as a caddie has been instrumental in the success of former Boilermaker star Maria Hernandez, having worked with her on several occasions. Robertson caddied for Hernandez during the final stage of LPGA Q-School in 2009 (t-5th), as well as the U.S. Women's Open in both 2009 (t-34th) and 2010 (t-41st), the 2010 LPGA Tour Championship (t-68th) and the 2014 LPGA Marathon Classic (t-69th). Most recently, Hernandez made the cut in the 2015 LPGA Canadian Pacific Women's Open with Robertson at her side.
Robertson also caddied for Kent State standout Jennifer Ha at the Canadian Pacific Women's Open in 2014 prior to her senior season where Ha finished tied for 64th as an amateur in the LPGA event. He beat three Top 20 players in the world.
He has also walked with former Oklahoma State teammate Chris Tidland in two events on the Web.com Tour and caddied for former Purdue standout Laura Gonzalez Escallon at the final stage of LPGA Q-school in 2013.
Robertson began his coaching career in 2001 as a volunteer assistant coach at Oklahoma State and helped his alma mater finish 16th at the NCAA Championships. OSU won four conference titles and the 1995 national title during his four years as a member of the Cowboys' golf program from 1993-97.
Robertson, who redshirted his freshman year, graduated from Oklahoma State with a degree in sports science in 1997. He finished his collegiate career at the University of New Mexico and helped the Lobos win the 1998 NCAA West Regional.
Following his collegiate career, Robertson competed professionally for three seasons. In 2000, he played on the Canadian Tour and competed at the PGA Tour’s Nissan Open (now called the Genesis Open).He also won the New Mexico State Amateur Championship in 1995.
Greg and his wife Ashlee have two sons, Michael and Tyler.
