Vanguard University

Dr. Jane Carr arrives to Vanguard as the new Director of Golf, and the former head coach of the Biola women's golf team is tasked with oversight of VU golf, assisting Head Coach Jeff Anderson in all facets of running the men's and women's programs.  Carr made women's golf at Biola one of the best programs on the West Coast after she arrived in 2010, join then Head Coach Hank Woodrome.  After running as the assistant coach through the 2013, Carr was promoted to the head position and took what had been built at Biola and seeded the ground for a great harvest.  She upped the roster up from a small handful of golfers unable to field a full team for tournaments to a group with plenty of firepower that propelled the Eagles to success rapidly.  She steered the team to three first-place finishes at the PacWest Championships over the past four years, repeating as the conference champions the past two tournaments.  She was named the PacWest Coach of the Year three times (2024-25, 2023-24, and 2021-22), and she coached the PacWest Player of the Year the past two campaigns (Claire Shubin in 2024-25 and Brady Turnquist in 2023-24).  The Eagles reached the NCAA DII Regional three times over the last four years and had two ninth-place finishes and one finish in 10th at that step.  Her 2021-22 team set a single-round program-best of 288 (even par), and her 2018-19 team set multiple records for single-round and year-round scoring.  With plenty of her charges owning top spots in the Biola record book and no team finish below third in either the PacWest or the Golden State Athletic Conference in her 15 years at BU, Carr and Anderson will join forces to try to put Vanguard in the top spot in the conference in both genders.
