Rebecca Mailloux
Women's Golf Coach/Camp Director

Rebecca Mailloux is beginning her fourth season as head coach of the women's golf team at Grand Valley State.

In 2010-11, Grand Valley finished in sixth-place at the NCAA Division II National Championship. It was the tenth National Championship appearance for the Lakers. GVSU won its fourth straight GLIAC Championship by coming from behind on day two of the competition to finish with a score of 649 (+73). Mailloux was also named GLIAC Coach of the Year for the second straight season. The Lakers also claimed their fourth consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament Championship besting their closest competitor by nine strokes. Grand Valley also won the Classic Club Invitational in Palm Desert, California and finished second at the Tom Kirinovic Classic, Bing Beall Classic, Zippy Invitational, and the 5th Annual Women's Vulcan Invitational.

In 2009-10, Mailloux led the Lakers to a sixth-place finish at the 2010 NCAA Division II National Championship, marking the ninth time in program history that GVSU has advanced to the national tournament. Grand Valley State also won its third straight GLIAC Championship, capturing the title by a 26-stroke margin, and took home its third consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament championship, winning the 2010 Super Region One Tournament by 13 strokes. GVSU won eight different tournaments throughout the year and placed in the top-six spots in 12 of the 13 tournaments it played in during the 2009-10 season.

After the season, Mailloux was named the NGCA (National Golf Coaches Association) East Region Coach of the Year for the second straight season, as four Lakers earned all-region status and two GVSU golfers were named NGCA All-Americans. Mailloux also was named GLIAC Coach of the Year for the first time, as four Lakers were tabbed as All-GLIAC First Team selections. In 2009-10, GVSU swept the individual all-conference honors, also earning the Women's Golfer of the Year and Freshman of the Year awards.

During her first year at the Laker helm in 2008-09, she helped lead GVSU to a second-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Division II National Championship, the highest finish in program history. Grand Valley State also captured its second straight GLIAC Championship, winning the 2009 title by 25 strokes, and dominated the NCAA East Regional, bringing home the team title by a 42-stroke margin.

Mailloux was tabbed the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) East Region Coach of the Year, as one of just two regional coaches to win the award outright. She coached two NGCA All-Americans in 2009, four NGCA All-East Region selections, and all five golfers were named to either the All-GLIAC First or Second Team, including the GLIAC Women's Golfer of the Year.

In the fall of 2008, she inherited a program that finished third at the 2008 NCAA Division II National Championship, won the 2008 GLIAC Championship, and returned four of its top five golfers.

Mailloux joined the Laker program after a four-year stint as head coach at St. Leo in Florida. While at St. Leo, she guided the Lions to five top-10 finishes during the 2007-08 season, including three top-5 finishes. During her tenure, St. Leo competed in what is widely regarded as perhaps the best women's golf conference in the country. In 2008, five of the top seven schools in the final Division II Golf Coaches Association poll were from the Sunshine State Conference.

A 2001 graduate of South Florida, Mailloux spent two years on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Futures Tour. She totaled a career-best 15th place finish at the Denver Futures Classic, shooting a 220 (74-74-72). Mailloux gained full exemption status in her second year on the tour. While at South Florida, she played at No. 3 on the golf team and helped the Bulls win the Conference USA championship twice and reach the NCAA Tournament during her junior and senior years.

She attended Longwood College in her first two collegiate seasons, winning medalist honors at the Longwood Invitational as a freshman.

A native of West Warwick, R.I., Mailloux was the Rhode Island women's amateur champion from 1996 to 2000, finished second in the Massachusetts Open in 2001, returning in 2003 to win the championship. She was voted the 2002 Rhode Island female athlete of the year.
