Charlottesville, VA – East Carolina women’s golfer Lene Krog has transferred to Virginia. She will be a junior for the Cavaliers during the 2007-08 season. While at ECU, she played for new Virginia coach Kim Lewellen.
“I’m excited to have Lene enroll at UVa and be a part of the Cavalier program,” Lewellen said. “She will be a great addition to our team, and it also allows her the opportunity to pursue her academic goals. She will be a great representative for a program that is young but has already established itself on a national level.”
Krog led East Carolina last year with a 75.69 stroke average and qualified for the NCAA Championships after finishing ninth at the East Regional. Her best round of the season was a 5-under 67 during the final round of play at the East Regional held at LSU.

She posted a stroke average of 74.52 while recording eight top-10 finishes as a rookie. She finished the year ranked the No. 16 freshman by Golfstat.
A member of the Norwegian National Team, Krog has competed in numerous top European tournaments and was a member of the European team for the 2005 PING Junior Solheim Cup. She was named a 2006 National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) Scholar All- American, was a recipient of the 2005-06 C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal and C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
