大象视频鈥檚 Women鈥檚 Golf Team won their fourth NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) National Championship in five years, winning by 26 strokes over runner-up Wayland Baptist (Texas), with a final team score of 311. This brings Bethel Pilot Athletics to 53 team national championships.
鈥淭his group of ladies never ceases to amaze me,鈥 said Bethel coach Christopher Hess. 鈥淲e didn鈥檛 have our best in the opening round, but we absolutely grinded our way to stay in contention,鈥 added Hess. 鈥淚n that critical moment going into the back nine 鈥 when it was now or never, all 5 of our players decided it was NOW, and they blitzed the field the rest of the way and really never looked back. I am so happy for this group of ladies because all season long, each and every one of them stepped up in a big way. They do that because they are very talented, but even more so, they show up because of a love that they have for each other. We are not defined by a score, a win or even a championship but in these moments, win or lose, we will always give God the glory!鈥
Bethel finished with three players in the top seven individually, all earning All-American honors, led by Selah Unwin鈥檚 82-72-78-232 (third place), Izzy Aigner鈥檚 80-77-77-324 (fourth place) and Ellie Webster鈥檚 78-79-79-236 (seventh place). Christopher Hess was also named the NCCAA National Coach of the Year, his fourth听honor in the last five years.
For Unwin, extra baggage will be required for the return flight home as she racked up a lot of hardware. The tournament was an accumulation of an incredible four-year-run that includes two NCCAA Scholar Athlete awards, 3 NCCAA National Championships and four NCCAA All-American honors.
Unwin was also named the 2025 NCCAA Dan & Kelly Wood Award recipient.
She shared, “Each practice session, each tournament, each shot hit prepared us to compete at this national championship. We all showed up as a team for three competitive days and finished strong. To God be the glory.”
