“Pinyada has had an unbelievable summer of awesome golf,” Head Coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. “She has really worked hard and played in so many events. To qualify for this and to represent her country is a big deal, and I can’t wait to see what this year holds for her at The University of Toledo.”

Kuvanun earned second-team All-Mid-American Conference honors as well as team most valuable player accolades in her first season as a Rocket in the 2016-17 campaign. She paced Toledo with a 74.9 stroke average and eight top 10 finishes.
