CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's golf program is excited to announce the addition of Nicole Iniakov, who is set to join the team and the Harvard College Class of 2029. Iniakov has enjoyed a successful junior golf career and will now begin a new chapter when she makes her collegiate debut this Fall.
 
"The addition of Nikki Iniakov brings a ton of excitement to our team," said Naree Song, the Head Coach for Harvard Women's Golf. "She's a true competitor with a strong game and a natural presence—someone who knows how to both lead and follow, which will serve her well as she steps into the role of teammate. Nikki will be a fantastic fit for our young, driven squad, and I'm really looking forward to having her on campus and seeing the impact she'll make right away."
 
A California native, Iniakov is a four-time Pacific Coast Athletic League Player of the Year and an eight-time top five finisher at AJGA events. She holds two impressive records including the lowest high school score at the famous Spyglass Hill and the lowest 54-hole finish in an AJGA Tournament. Learn more about Nicole below.
