BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Western Washington University head golf coach Luke Bennett has announced that Sophia Schmidt and Elise Sumner have signed a national letter of intent to play for the Vikings beginning in 2019-20.
Schmidt (Bellingham, WA) is a two-time All-Northwest Conference MVP out of Bellingham High School and a two-time Washington Junior Golf Association Winter Golf Classic champion. The Bellingham native took 5th place at the 2018 WIAA 2A State Championships and is a two-time WJGA state participant.

Sumner (North Tustin, CA) is a product of Foothill High School and a four-year varsity letterwinner on the links. She has earned all-conference honors all four years during her prep career and was a top-5 finisher at her league championship each season.
