New scholarship a Golden moment for Hammerle, alumni, friends

A year ago, friends surprised Carol Hammerle and honored her 25-year career as UW-Green Bay’s founding women’s basketball coach with a permanent display at the Kress Event Center and creation of a scholarship fund in her name. Saturday, Feb. 5, Phoenix Athletics announced the first award from the fund would go to women’s basketball senior Heather Golden. The Hammerle Scholarship grew from contributions from more than 100 friends of the program including former players. More than 40 Phoenix hoops alumni were on hand for the festivities and the program’s annual Alumni Day last weekend. Great photos, click here.
