Hall of Fame
Lori Stinson took over a Grand Valley State women’s golf program in 1998 that had started just four years prior and turned it into one of the top programs in the nation. She led the Lakers to four consecutive top four finishes at the NCAA Championships, becoming the only school located in the Midwest to accomplish that feat. During her 10-year career as the head coach, GVSU won 38 tournaments, including four GLIAC Tournament titles, three NCAA East Regional crowns, finished among the top six at the NCAA Championships seven times and notched a second-place finish at the NCAA Championships in 2005. Stinson, who was named the GLIAC Coach of the Year four times, mentored two GLIAC Player of the Year honorees, four GLIAC Freshman of the Year performers and the NCAA Individual Medalist (Melissa Sneller) in 2005.
