Sports sponsorship: Towson University is adding women's golf to its varsity athletics program beginning next fall. Brian Yaniger, currently the Tigers men's golf coach, will assume the role of head coach. He will be joined by LPGA hall of famer Carol Mann, who will spend several weeks a year with the squad in the role of assistant coach. "We are excited about the addition of women's golf as a varsity sport," said Towson Athletics Director Wayne Edwards. "Our men's program has been very successful, and we are confident the women's program also will be competitive." The Tigers will compete in the Colonial Athletic Association, becoming its 10th member for women's golf. The CAA has sponsored women's golf for three years. Yaniger has led the Tigers men's golf team to a pair of America East Conference championships and three NCAA Division I regional appearances in the last eight years. Mann, an LPGA Tour professional from 1961 through 1981, won 38 tournaments, including two major titles. "I love teaching motivated people," Mann said, "and having grown up in Towson, it will be a joy to return to my roots to share knowledge gained with my wings. I look forward to enhancing the skills, talents and achievements of the members of the men's team. The opportunity to build the new women's golf team is an exciting challenge that I have not faced but will use all possible resources to meet." Mann is past president of the LPGA and the Women's Sports Foundation.
