Sierra Campbell enters her eighth season as the head coach of the University of North Georgia women's golf program. Campbell comes to UNG following a highly successful stint as the men’s and women’s golf assistant coach at NCAA Division II power Dallas Baptist.
At North Georgia, Campbell has quickly built the program into a rising contender as one of the biggest names in collegiate women’s golf and has broken new ground in almost every season during her eight-year tenure in Dahlonega. After previously only finishing as high as third place in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship prior to Campbell’s arrival, UNG has now recorded five third-place or better finishes which includes four Runner-Up showings and three in the last three seasons. Campbell has also guided the Nighthawks to the NCAA Division II Women’s Golf South Regional Tournament in back-to-back seasons (2024-25, 2025-26).
Campbell has also coached some of the best players in program history, including six (Women’s Golf Coaches Association) WGCA All-Americans, two All-Region selections, three PBC Players of the Year, two Freshman of the Year, three Individual PBC Tournament Champions and 16 All-Conference players.
During the 2025-26 season, North Georgia secured four top-three finishes across its fall and spring tournaments. One of the standout tournaments came at the LR/West Dunes Intercollegiate in February, where the Nighthawks placed second overall, and Camryn Wright took home the individual title in a field of 96 golfers. UNG also set a new bar with its highest national ranking in program history, coming in at No. 7 in the WGCA Coaches Poll. The Nighthawks continued to see success in the postseason, as UNG finished tied for second in the PBC Championship and freshman Mackenzie Connell won the individual title at the tournament. North Georgia capped off the season with its second-consecutive trip to the NCAA South Regional.
In the 2024-25 season, the Nighthawks continued a trend that Campbell set from her first season in Dahlonega by shattering numerous program records throughout the course of the year. At UNG’s 11th Annual LeeAnn Noble Memorial at Achasta Golf Club, the Nighthawks finished in second place behind No. 1 Anderson while breaking the program's 18- and 54-hole scoring records in the process. The Nighthawks then went on to earn their highest WGCA Coaches Poll ranking in program history at the time, coming in at No. 11 nationally in the fall. The historic season was capped off by UNG’s first ever appearance in the NCAA South Regional as the Nighthawks hosted the event at Chattahoochee Golf Club in Gainesville, Ga. It was there that UNG made a miraculous showing against the best regional field in the country and carded back-to-back birdies on the 18th hole to force a three-team playoff for the final National Championship qualifying spot. The season ended with senior Jadin Ware becoming the sixth WGCA All-American in program history.
Campbell hit the ground running when she took over the Nighthawk program in her first season. She led the Nighthawks to their first ever national ranking, coming in as high as No. 15 in the WGCA national poll in the 2020-21 season. During her first year at the helm, the team broke every scoring record in the UNG record book and earned the program's first-ever WGCA All-American in Megan Sabol, earning second team honors. Also In the 2020-21 season, Sabol and freshman Maddie Ananthasane were selected as individuals for the NCAA South Regional with Ananthasane qualifying to compete for the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Individual Medalist honors, making her the first women's golfer in program history to advance out of the regional round.
Prior to taking over at UNG, in her two seasons at DBU, Campbell assisted head coach Kenny Trapp in guiding the team to 17 tournament victories including the NCAA Division II West Region Championship in both 2018 and 2019. Respected as a tireless recruiter, Campbell signed or committed four top-150 recruits in the country all while helping DBU sustain at top three national ranking for back-to-back years.
In 2018-19, the second-ranked Lady Patriots team reached medal match play at the NCAA Division II National Championships in West Palm Beach, Fla. after finishing seventh in stroke play. She helped mentor three WGCA All-Americans and guided DBU to 10 tournament titles on the year.
Campbell is from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and attended Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, Texas. During her time at MSU, she earned Lone Star All-Conference honors in 2015, 2016, and 2017, won the Lone Star Conference Championship in 2015 alongside her team and also individually, and was named the Marie Morgan Award recipient in her senior spring season honoring MSU’s top female student-athlete.
