NDSU has named Matt Johnson head women’s golf coach. NDSU women’s athletic director Lynn Dorn made the announcement June 17.
Johnson, owner of The Sports Bubble in Fargo since 2004, is the sixth coach in the program’s history. He replaces Lisa Schwinden, head professional at Osgood Golf Course in Fargo, who coached the Bison for two seasons.
A teaching professional since 1995, Johnson was the NDSU head men’s golf coach for three seasons from 2001 to 2004. Under his direction, the Bison qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time in 13 years in 2004.
Johnson graduated from Valley City State University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He was a three-time all-conference and all-district performer for VCSU and was a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All-America Scholar Athlete in 1994.
