Cheryl Stacy
	Position: Head Coach Experience: 3rd Season

Cheryl Stacy begins her fourth season as the head coach of the University of Michigan women's golf team after being named as the fourth coach in the program's 35-year history in 2009.

In Stacy's third season at the helm, she guided the Wolverines to the NCAA Central Regionals -- the third consecutive postseason NCAA regional appearance for U-M -- where the Wolverines finished 16th. The season also included a fourth-place finish in the Big Ten Tournament as well as five top-five finishes in 12 events.

In her first two seasons, Stacy led U-M to back-to-back NCAA regional selections after All-Big Ten golfer Ashley Bauer was invited as an individual to the 2010 Central Regional and the Wolverines earned a team selection to the 2011 Central Regional.

In her first season (2009-10), Stacy's Wolverines set the U-M single-season record for team scoring average with a 302.53 per round tally and followed in 2010-11 by setting the U-M single round record with a 285 in the second round of the 2010 Challenge at Onion Creek (Nov. 1-2). Stacy won her first first team title at the 2010 Rio Verde Invitational (March 4-6), as well her first individual champion when Bauer took medalist honors.

Away from the course, Stacy has had 12 Wolverines earn Academic All-Big Ten honors, while 11 have garnered U-M's Athletic Academic Achievement honors. In 2009-10 Stacy's team was ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten academically with a total of seven Academic All-Big Ten honorees.

Prior to taking over the Wolverine program, Stacy spent four seasons (2005-09) as an assistant coach. While serving as an assistant, the Wolverines made three NCAA regional appearances -- two as a team and one individual invitation -- and posted two top-five finishes at the Big Ten Championships. Collecting five team titles and three individual medalist honors, U-M had 22 top-five finishes in 47 regular season events.

Before coming to Ann Arbor, Stacy spent 13 years teaching and directing golf instruction throughout Florida, Michigan and Ohio. A Class A member of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Division, she began her teaching career as an assistant golf professional at the Imperial Golf Club in Naples, Fla., from 1992-94, before moving to the Meadows Golf Club and Golf Academy at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Mich., serving as the teaching professional from 1994-95.

In 1995, Stacy moved on to Maumee, Ohio, where she spent eight years at the Maumee Sportsmall Golf Learning Center as the teaching professional (1995-97) before being elevated to the head professional (1997-2003). In 2004, she served as the director of instruction at the Red Hawk Run Golf Course in Findlay, Ohio, before moving on to become the teaching professional at The Country Club in Pepper Pike, Ohio (2005).

Stacy is no stranger to Big Ten golf after playing three years (1983-85) at Ohio State University. She earned All-America second team honors in 1984 and was the first Ohio State women's golfer to earn All-America first team honors in 1985. She remains just one of three players to earn the national distinction at Ohio State. While at Ohio State, she guided the Buckeyes to three straight Big Ten Conference crowns (1983-84-85) and was a back-to-back medalist at the conference tournament (1984-85), where she earned All-Big Ten honors both years.

Throughout her collegiate career, she won eight college tournaments. In the NCAA competition, Stacy helped lead Ohio State to a 14th-place finish in 1983, 12th-place showing in 1984 and a 13th-place showing in 1985. Stacy was inducted into Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Hancock County Hall of Fame in 1999.

In her professional golf career, Stacy played on the LPGA Tour as a division member (1991), the Futures Golf Tour (1985-93), the Women's Florida Golf Tour (1986-87), the Central Florida Golf Tour (1991-92) and the Kosaido Ashai Golf Ladies Asia Golf Circuit (1993). While on the Futures Golf Tour, she won six tournaments and made the cut for the 1991 U.S. Women's Open.

As an amateur, she won back-to-back Ohio State Women's Amateur Championships (1984-85) and was the runner-up and co-medalist in stroke play at the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship in 1985.

Stacy, who has played in LPGA Teaching Division events, resides in Ann Arbor, Mich.
