In 2012, McCloskey and freshman Doris Chen earned All-American first team status while Popov earned honorable mention honors. It’s not the unparalleled success that makes Gaston proudest. Instead, it is her players’ day-by-day and year-by-year growth that brings her the most satisfaction. “Golf is a great avenue for our players’ development,” said Gaston. “Whether they choose golf as a career path or not, their experience while they’re here-- along with their degree from USC--will take them far in life no matter what choice they make. We are continuing to expand our future plans, so I know there’s no better time than now to be a part of our program. We are totally committed to the kind of achievement that makes the USC women’s golf program one of the best in the country.” Gaston completed her education at California State University, Northridge, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1980. Gaston is also an active participant in the collegiate golf coaching community as a member of the National Golf Coaches’ Association and served on the Awards Committee from 2008-2010. Gaston also served on the NCAA Certification Committee and was appointed to the subcommittee focusing on equity, welfare and sporting conduct. She also served on the Collegiate Golf Foundation Coaches Council, the National Tour Committee and the MasterCard Collegiate Golf Rankings Committee.
