Lexi Johnson concluded her inaugural season as head coach of the women’s golf team in the Spring of 2026.
In the 2025-26 season, Johnson was honored as MIAA Co-Coach of the Year. The Hillcats earned a berth in the NCAA Women’s Golf National Championship after finishing third at the NCAA Central Region Championship. They also secured a third-place finish at the MIAA Championship and, in late March, were ranked as the top team in the Central Region for the first time since 2022. Lou Fourdan, named MIAA Freshman of the Year, along with two-time All-MIAA selection Brianna Maddux, made the WGCA All-Central Region team. Maddux additionally received the department's first-year NCAA Elite Scholar-Athlete Award. Rogers State also achieved a program-high with six student-athletes named WGCA All-American Scholars and earned the WGCA All-Scholar Team GPA award with a team GPA of 3.77.
Johnson quickly found success, leading the Hillcats to their first team title at the NSU Women’s Classic in the fall. After a tie for third in a competitive field at the DBU Classic, Rogers State broke into the WGCA Top 25, landing at No. 21. Overall, the Hillcats recorded 10 top-five finishes and qualified for the NCAA National Championships for the fourth time in six years.
Johnson arrived on the Hill after four seasons as the Head Golf Coach at Owasso High School. With the Rams, she has built a program that has had sustained success throughout her tenure. Her team has consistently finished in the top six in the state, including finishing as high as fourth. Over the last four years, OHS has compiled over 15 top 3 finishes with two tournament wins. Johnson has coached one player to All-State honors in 2022 and has had four players sign to continue their careers at the collegiate level. Her teams are also just as successful in the classroom, as they were named 2022 Academic State Champions.
Johnson is no stranger to the MIAA, as she began her coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Northeastern State for two years after a successful career as a student-athlete in Tahlequah. As team captain, she was a multi-time All-MIAA selection and led NSU to four-straight MIAA titles, 13 team wins and an appearance in the NCAA Division II National Championships. She finished fifth at the 2018 MIAA Championships and later that season finished ninth at the NCAA Division II Central Region Championships.
She holds a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from NSU as well as a Master's Degree in Math Education.
Johnson resides in her hometown of Owasso with her husband, Marc, and their daughter, Rylie.
