Una Johnson Named Navy Women’s Golf Team Captain for 2026-27 Season
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Leadership will have a familiar face for the Navy women’s golf program this season as rising senior Una Johnson has been selected by her teammates to serve as the Midshipmen’s captain for the 2026-27 campaign. The announcement recognizes one of the program’s most respected veterans as Navy prepares for another season in the Patriot League.
The honor carries significant weight because the decision came directly from Johnson’s teammates, reflecting the trust she has built throughout her career in Annapolis. Navy head coach Kylee Baker praised Johnson’s consistency, work ethic and commitment to the program while announcing the selection.
“Having Una voted as our team captain by her teammates speaks volumes about the respect and trust she has earned within our program,” Baker said. “She leads by example every single day through her exceptional work ethic, unwavering positivity and genuine commitment to her teammates.”
Johnson enters her senior season with extensive collegiate experience and will now be tasked with guiding a Navy squad looking to contend in the Patriot League while continuing the Naval Academy’s tradition of excellence both on the golf course and in the classroom. Her role extends beyond tournament play, as captains at the Academy are expected to mentor younger teammates and uphold the leadership standards associated with representing the United States Naval Academy.
For Maryland sports fans, the Midshipmen remain one of the state’s premier Division I programs, and Johnson’s appointment gives Navy an experienced leader heading into what could be a pivotal season. Veteran leadership is especially valuable in collegiate golf, where success often depends on consistency across multiple tournaments and the development of younger players throughout the year.
The Midshipmen will rely on Johnson to set the tone both during practice and competition as they pursue another successful campaign. Her leadership, combined with her experience competing at the Division I level, gives Navy a strong foundation entering the 2026-27 season.
Johnson’s selection continues a summer of positive momentum for Navy Athletics, with several Midshipmen earning leadership roles and national recognition ahead of the upcoming academic year. As preseason preparations continue, the women’s golf program will look to its new captain to help guide the team toward conference success and continued growth.
For a program built on discipline, accountability and teamwork, Johnson’s selection as captain is a fitting reflection of the qualities Navy values most. The Midshipmen will now look to turn that leadership into results when the 2026-27 season begins.
