CINCINNATI - Xavier head women's golf coach Breanna Jenco named Abby Kiefer an assistant coach on Tuesday. The former standout played for the Musketeers from 2018-23.
"We are super excited to retain a player in a coaching capacity that had such a large impact on our program as a player," said Jenco. "Abby was a talented golfer and an exceptional leader for our team. I know our players have a lot of respect for her, and that will serve her well as she transitions into a coaching role. She will be a great mentor for the players, liaison for recruits, and helper for Coach Patz and I!"
Kiefer led the Musketeers to their fourth straight BIG EAST Title and NCAA Appearance in the spring of 2023. She was named to the 2023 Academic All-District® Women's At-Large Team selected by College Sports Communicators in May.
