Washington State University announced Wednesday that Kaitlyn Moreland and Cece Lewis have signed financial aid agreements to join the Cougars women's golf program for the 2027-28 season, head coach Kevin Tucker confirmed. Moreland, from Scottsdale, Arizona, is ranked 59th nationally in the 2027 recruiting class and has won over 80 tournaments in her junior career, including the Generous Game Classic and Phoenix Metro Jr. Championship this past season. She finished tied for 21st at the 2026 Uswing Mojing Junior Worlds Championship at Torrey Pines and third at the 2026 Arizona High School State Championship. Moreland also competed in the 2026 Women's Western Junior Championship and was a member of The Underrated Tour and a two-time participant in the Curry Cup. She competed in the USGA Girls' Junior Championship at age 13 and holds a personal best round of 63 (-9). Moreland intends to study sport management. "I chose WSU because I really connected with the coaches. Also, the campus and the course are beautiful and the team atmosphere is great!" Moreland said. Tucker added, "We're thrilled to welcome Kaitlyn to the Coug family! She's a proven winner who has competed successfully at a high level in some of the top junior events in the country. Her experience, consistency, and competitive mindset will be valuable additions to our team." Lewis, from Nipomo, California, is ranked 122nd nationally in the 2027 class. She competed in the 2026 USGA Women's Four Ball Championship at Daniel Island Club in Charleston, South Carolina, and the 2025 USGA Girls' Junior Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club. Lewis is a regular on the AJGA circuit with two career runner-up finishes, most recently at the 2026 CBD Golf Club Junior Championship in Bakersfield, California, and also competes in the Toyota Tour Cup series in Southern California. "I was really drawn to WSU because both the coaching and the team dynamic seemed very supportive and fun, while still being competitive," Lewis said. "I saw that the entire community of Pullman rallies behind the University and supports the students. As soon as I stepped foot on campus, I knew it was where I wanted to be." Tucker said, "We are so excited to have Cece join our program! She's a very talented player who brings a wealth of experience competing at the highest level. She's very intentional with her game and preparation, and I know her experience and work ethic will make a positive impact on our team."
