Mitch Lowney

Lowney begins his second season as the head coach of the men's golf program in 2025-26.

In his first year the Thunder claimed seven tournament victories, a second place finish in the MIAA and four spots on the All-MIAA squad. The Thunder opened the 2024-25 campaign with three consecutive tournament wins, they added a fourth at the Region V preview. Trine reclaimed the Brit-Thunder Cup and added a clean sweep of the top five spots at the A.C. Eddy Classic. Jack Besner, Garrett James, and Carter Schnipke earned first team All-MIAA status and Jake Bilby was named to the second team. Schnipke's success continued in the classroom as he and Colin Crumrine were named GCAA All-America Scholars. 

As a student-athlete, Lowney was named as an All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) golfer in all four seasons played for the Thunder and helped lead the team to two conference titles (2019-20 and 2020-21).

Lowney was the recipient of the MIAA Sportsmanship Award in 2023, a prestigious honor given to one senior student-athlete in the conference each year.

He holds the fourth-best scoring average in his Trine career and has played in the second-most rounds at 61.

Lowney used his fifth year to play at Oakland University in 2023-24 and was inducted into the Michigan Catholic High School League (CHSL) Hall of Fame in 2024.
