Head Coach’s Profile

Nicole Bird is in her sixth season as the head coach of the Boise State women’s golf team, and the team has shown marked improvement since her arrival prior to the 2007-08 season.

Young finished in the top 25 in each of this past fall’s four tournaments, and is now fifth all-time on the Broncos’ career list with 16. Her eight-career top-10 finishes are second all-time at Boise State.

The Broncos won their first tournament title in nearly nine years with a victory at the 2008 Bronco Fall Invitational, and the fourth-place effort at the 2011 Western Athletic Conference Championships is tied for the third-best team finish at a conference tournament in school history.

In the classroom, the Broncos have combined for 12 conference all-academic selections and four NGCA AllAmerica Scholars. Additionally, three of her golfers were named Mountain West Scholar-Athlete Award recipients for 2011-12, one of the highest academic honors bestowed by the conference.

Bird’s Broncos will try to improve on that as the team embarks on its second season in the Mountain West in 2012-13. Bird brought in a trio of highly-touted freshmen for the 2012-13 campaign, and the group has not disappointed. The group ranked 16th-nationally in Golfstat’s Freshman Class Impact Rankings through the fall season, and the trio has meshed with a pair of seniors to produce one of the most successful fall seasons in recent memory. Boise State broke the school record for lowest singleround team score (291; +3) and three-round team score (893, +29) at the “Price’s Give ‘Em Five” Invitational (Oct. 8-10), and twice went an entire tournament without posting a round in the 80s. Boise State was the only team in the field to accomplish the feat at the Oregon State Invitational (Sept. 17-18). Several Broncos have been honored with postseason recognition under Bird. Iris Ocariza earned the team’s first all-conference accolade in three seasons, garnering second-team honors in 2009. Her scoring average of 76.7 that season was the third-lowest in school history, and her six top-25 finishes in 2008-09 are tied for the sixth-most in school history. Hayley Young earned second-team All-WAC accolades following the 2010-11 season, posting six top-25 finishes – tied for the sixth-most in school history – and recording four top-10 efforts, tied for the second-most by a Bronco all-time. Young set the school’s single-season scoring average record in 2010-11 (75.8), and posted the fourth-best mark in school history in 2011-12 (76.6). Jenna Leurquin wasn’t far behind last season, recording the 10th-best single-season mark all-time (77.5).

The team set the school record for highest singlesemester grade-point average with a 3.68 in the spring of 2012, and led all programs this fall with a 3.58. Bird joined Boise State after spending five seasons as an assistant coach at TCU. Her duties as assistant coach included aiding in recruiting, organizing day-today operations of the program and helping lead team practices and workouts. The Horned Frogs posted five-straight NCAA Championships appearances and registered five regular-season tournament victories during Bird’s tenure. The 2007 team won the MW Championship, and the program produced three All-America honorees in Catherine Matranga, Valentine Derrey and Brooke Tull. She also helped coach nine NGCA All-America Scholars, one Academic All-American and nine allconference honorees. Bird served as the assistant tournament director for the 2004 Conference-USA Women’s Golf Championships, as an intern with the American Junior Golf Association and as the AJGA’s Manager of Tournament Administration. A native of Edmond, Okla., Bird attended Western New Mexico University from 1996-98 before transferring to Centenary (1998-2000), where she graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in communication and professional writing. She and husband Steve were married during the summer of 2011.
