BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Bowling Green State University head women's golf coach, Erin Fahey, has announced Macie Elzinga, Addison Kartusch and McKenzie Miller have signed National Letters of Intent with the Falcons for the 2024-25 academic year.
"I am very excited to announce the signing of Macie Elzinga, Addison Kartusch and McKenzie Miller for our Class of 2024," said Fahey. "Each one of these players will impact BGSU Women's Golf immediately when they step on campus, both in the classroom and on the course. All three of them have the desire and drive to push our program to get better and better each year. Welcome Macie, Addison and McKenzie to the Falcon Family!"
Elzinga (Byron Center, Mich.) hails from Byron Center High School, where she is a four-time individual OK White Conference champion. While at Byron Center she earned all-state accolades in 2021, 2022 and 2023, which includes first-team D2 (2021). Elzinga earned All-State Super team honors in 2022 and 2023. She was a 2022 D2 individual state champion and helped lead the Bulldogs to a 2021 state runner-up finish.
"Macie is a proven winner who has been tournament-tested at all levels," said Fahey. "She is a team-focused player, who at the core wants to accomplish great things with her team."
Kartusch (Winnipeg, Manitoba) currently competes for St. Mary's Academy, where she helped her school to the 2021-22 and 2022-23 high school provincial team championship. She has played in the Canada Summer Games and placed No. 10 out of 20 participants. She has won individual medalist honors at four tournaments and boasts eight top-10 finishes over the last three seasons. Kartusch also plays hockey and is an assistant captain for the current 2023-24 season.
"Addison is a very athletic player and one that has had success at the highest levels in her junior career," said Fahey. "She is a multi-sport athlete and has an amazing work ethic."
Miller (Hilliard, Ohio) attends Hilliard Bradley High School, where she has spent three years on the boys' golf team. She has earned girls' golf first-team all-conference, all-district and team MVP honors in 2020. In 2022 and 2023 she earned honorable mention All-Central District and team MVP accolades for the boy's golf team. She is a two-time Joe Haase Cup Champion (2022-23) at the Firestone Country Club (North). Miller finished in fifth place at the 2023 Ohio Junior Girls tournament.

"McKenzie is an experienced tournament player and will bring the team a lot of heart," said Fahey. "She is a team player, who will do whatever it takes to accomplish her goals. McKenzie is a well-rounded student-athlete whose passion for BGSU is apparent."
