PEORIA, Ill. – Bradley Women's Golf has announced its 2025-26 schedule, highlighted by the fifth annual Coyote Creek Classic and a mix of new tournaments and familiar competition.

The Braves begin the season at the A-Ga-Ming Invitational in Kewadin, Michigan, for the third consecutive year, teeing off on August 31-September 1. The team looks to defend its title after winning by six strokes over Bowling Green in the 2024 event. Caroline McConnell earned medalist honors for the first time in her collegiate career, prevailing after a five-hole playoff.

In the rest of September, the team travels to Madison, Wisconsin, for the Wisconsin Badger Invitational on September 14-16 before heading to Iowa City for the first time in 10 years for the Diane Thomason Invitational on September 29-30.

Bradley comes home for the fifth annual Coyote Creek Classic in nearby Bartonville, Illinois. The Braves have won team titles at the last two editions of the tournament, winning by eight strokes over Illinois State in 2023 and 23 shots over Evansville in 2024. Jillian Cosler won her first collegiate title at the tournament a year ago after a three-hole playoff. 

The Braves close the Fall portion of the season with a trip to Manhattan, Kansas, for Kansas State's Powercat Invitational on October 20-21. Bradley returns to Kansas State after playing in the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational in the fall of 2023.

The spring of 2026 kicks off on familiar terrain for the team, as they travel to Rio Verde, Arizona, for the Rio Verde Invitational, hosted by Western Michigan, on February 20-22. The Braves have competed in Western Michigan's desert tournament every season it has been held since 2004.

The Braves will compete primarily down south during March with two new events on the schedule, beginning in Alabama with the Chris Banister Classic, hosted by Jacksonville State, on March 8-10 and the ULM Invitational, hosted by Louisiana-Monroe, on March 30-31.

Bradley's final tournament before the MVC Championship sees a return to West Lafayette, Indiana, as the Braves will compete in the Purdue Boilermaker Classic for the second straight season on April 12-13.

The regular season closes at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship on April 19-21. The tournament will be held at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, marking the first time the conference tournament has been held at this venue. Last year, Jillian Cosler won the first conference championship for a Brave since 2014, while the Braves placed fourth as a team at Annbriar Golf Course in Waterloo, Illinois.

"I am very excited about this year's schedule as it will test our student-athletes in a variety of climates and courses," said Head Coach Halley Morell. "We have a great mix of familiar events, as well as new challenges. Travelling around the country will also pit the players against different teams that we may not see very often, which will prepare them for the conference tournament and the postseason. The student-athletes cannot wait to hit the links this fall!"
