BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana Women's Basketball and Indiana Women's Golf are mourning the loss of alum Courtney Cox Cole, who passed away on Sunday in Noblesville at the age of 48 after a courageous battle with cancer.
A two-sport athlete at Indiana from 1990-93, Cox was a part of the 1991 NWIT runner-up team and played in 53 games over her career, making 22 starts. She was the team's second leading scorer as a freshman where she averaged 9.1 points (254 points) and was a 1991 Academic All-Big Ten selection.
Following the team's NWIT run, she ended her basketball career to focus on golf. A standout on the course, the Noblesville, Ind. native made the NCAA Tournament twice with the program in 1992 and 1993. Cole was also a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, three-time All-Big Ten honoree and two-time NGCA Scholar Athlete. In addition, she played in 103 career rounds for the Hoosiers, finishing with a stroke average of 78.94.
Statement from Teri Moren
"Our sincerest sympathies are with the family of Courtney Cox Cole. I played against Courtney in both high school and college and remember her as a fierce competitor. She took that same attitude as she battled cancer for the last six years. Courtney remained positive throughout her fight and became an inspiration to so many. History will remember her as one of Indiana's all-time greatest, but more importantly she will be remembered as a genuine, funny, successful business woman and as a loving mother, daughter and sister."
Statement from Clint Wallman
"Indiana Women's Golf mourns the loss of a great person and great Hoosier in Courtney Cox Cole. Courtney was a talented golfer who qualified for the NCAA Championships twice, but more than that, she was a fantastic teammate and leader. She will be missed by all who knew her and Indiana Women's Golf extends our deepest sympathies to her family."
