BELLEVUE, Neb. -- Craig Marsh, the incoming Director of Golf at Bellevue University, announced today the signing of seven student-athletes who will join the Bruin golf programs for the 2026-27 season.
Marsh, who currently leads the women's program, will assume oversight of both the men's and women's squads beginning in the fall of 2026 following the retirement of founding men's golf coach Rob Brown.
The 2026 signing class includes five additions to the men's roster and two for the women's team. The newest Bruins are Annabelle Cziezerski (Hamburg, Germany), Alfred Duke (London, England), Nick Fleming (Columbus, Neb.), Svante Isaksson (Halmstad, Sweden), Ethan Lawrence (Ferndown, U.K.), Calum Morrison (Glasgow, Scotland), and Alayna Pargas (Maryville, Mo.).
The Bellevue men's program is coming off a 2024-25 campaign that saw them finish seventh at the NAIA National Championship. On the women's side, Marsh enters his third season having led the Bruins to NAIA National Championship appearances in each of his first two years. Under his guidance, the women's program has captured two North Star Athletic Association titles and posted a 14th-place finish at last year's NAIA National Championship.
"I am thrilled to welcome Annabelle and Alayna to our Women's Golf program, and Svante, Alfred, Calum, Ethan, and Nick to our Men's Golf program," said Marsh. "Each of these student athletes brings an impressive combination of talent, competitive success, academic prowess, and character. Their accomplishments speak for themselves, and they will be joining an already solid foundation of current players who have helped establish a standard of excellence within our program. What excites me most is how seamlessly they align with our culture that prioritizes accountability, process, positivity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. I am confident they will elevate our teams both on and off the course, and I cannot wait to begin this journey together as one Bruin Golf Family."
