HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison women's golf Head Coach Tommy Baker announced the hiring of Madison Freeman as an assistant coach on Thursday, June 18.
Freeman joins JMU following two seasons as the Head Women's Golf Coach at Erskine College in Due West, S.C. She replaces Caroline Craig (Harrison), who recently accepted a position as an assistant women's golf coach at the University of Virginia.
"I am honored to join James Madison as an assistant coach for the proud and talented women's golf program," Freeman said. "I am excited for the opportunity to work with, lead, and develop our student-athletes, both on and off the course. I want to thank Head Coach Tommy Baker, the athletic department, and everyone involved in this process for trusting me as an addition to this team. Can't wait to get started! Go Dukes!"
During her time at Erskine, Freeman led the Flying Fleet to back-to-back Conference Carolina championships and their first appearances in the NCAA Division II Regionals in school history. She was named the conference's Coach of the Year following the 2024-25 season and coached Erskine to two team wins during her tenure.
"Madison is a winner in every sense of the word," Baker said. "Her teams have achieved championship success on the course, but what impressed me the most was her commitment to relationships, player development, and creating a healthy culture where players can achieve greatness. The success she built at Erskine speaks for itself, but I believe the best is still ahead."
Before her time at Erskine, Freeman enjoyed a successful career as a player at Charleston Southern (2021-24) and Sam Houston State (2019-21). A native of Spring, Texas, Freeman was named Second Team All-Big South following the 2023-24 season to cap off her career after also being named All-Big South Honorable Mention the prior two seasons.
Freeman graduated Magna Cum Laude from Charleston Southern University in May of 2024 with her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Marketing.
Before her collegiate career, Freeman was a four-time regional qualifier at Klein High School in Klein, Texas, taking the individual regional title at the 2019 6A Regional Championship and qualifying for state. She ranked as a top 20 recruit in the class of 2019 in the state of Texas, to go along with a decorated amateur career.
