Ali Green

Ali Green joined the ACU women's golf staff as an assistant coach in September 2023. She played a key role in leading the Wildcats to a runner-up finish at the Western Athletic Conference Championship while Ryann Honea grabbed the individual title in the program's debut season. Green has steered the Wildcats to a national ranking as high as No. 77.

Green found immediate success with the Wildcats, leading them to a title at the program's first-ever tournament in Sept. 2023, the A-Ga-Ming Invitational in Kewadin, Mich. It was the first of three championships for ACU over the course of the season, as it went on to win the HCU Huskies Intercollegiate in Sugar Land, Texas and the ORU Spring Invitational in Tulsa, Okla. The Wildcats added five more top-two finishes and finished outside of the top five in just one tournament. Runner-up ACU finished just two strokes back of Seattle U at the WAC Championship.

Green coached Honea to back-to-back individual crowns at the HCU Huskies Intercollegiate and the Lady Bison Classic in Panama City, Fla. before she won the WAC Championship to earn a spot in the NCAA Regional in Bryan, Texas. She received First Team All-WAC accolades, while Delaney Martin captured second-team recognition with five top-five performances and a title at the BGSU Women's Intercollegiate.

Off the course, four ACU golfers were named All-American Scholars by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA). Honea, Jiyu Han, Kate Pickrell and Sydney Williams held an overall grade point average of 3.5 or higher while competing in 50% or more of the Wildcats' competitive rounds. Those four, along with Martin and Manon Guille, garnered Academic All-WAC honors.

Green came to ACU from the University of Dayton, where she was the head women's golf coach from 2021-23. Her team produced seven top-5 finishes, eight WGCA All-American Scholars and three All-Conference honorees. Green served as the head girls' golf coach at Lakota East High School from 2017-21.
 
Green was a four-year starter on the Ashland University golf team from 2012-16 and received her bachelor's degree in education (intervention specialist – mild to intensive) in 2016.
 
"I am beyond excited to announce Ali Green as our first-ever women's assistant golf coach," ACU head women's golf coach Rob Bennett said. "Ali is coming to ACU after serving as the head coach at Dayton, where she led the Flyers to new heights in her two years at the helm. Ali has a very strong resume as well with a few Ohio Women's State Amateur titles under her belt among many other accomplishments on the course.
 
"I really think we hit the jackpot with Ali. To get a coach of her caliber here in our new program is really a dream. She has a lot to offer our young ladies as we look to compete for WAC championships and I know she will hit the ground running when she arrives in Abilene."
 
Green is married to men's golf assistant coach Robby Pickett.
