Hokie ClubBLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech women's golf has added Creighton transfer Katherine Lemke to its 2023-24 roster as announced by head coach Carol Robertson, Thursday. The rising junior will have two years of eligibility remaining.

She became the first back-to-back BIG EAST women's golf individual champion in conference history, claiming the title as a freshman and sophomore.

Her second-round 67 set a Creighton record and tied a BIG EAST championship record. Lemke had seven birdies and an eagle in that round and led the tournament in par-3 scoring (-2) as well as par-5 scoring (-5).
In addition to winning the conference championship, Lemke topped a field of 60 golfers one week prior at the Stampede at the Creek by firing a 3-over 219 (73-72-74). The Geneva, Ill., native compiled a 75.39 scoring average as a sophomore while logging nine top-20 finishes.
For her career, Lemke has won four times, posted 11 top-10s and carded nine rounds of par or better.
