The No. 52/52 SMU women’s golf team was selected to the 2014 NCAA Central Regional in Stillwater, Okla., the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Selection Committee announced on Monday. The three-day 54-hole Stillwater Regional will start on May 8 and be played at Karsten Creek Golf Club.

“We’re excited to qualify for NCAA’s for the second-straight year,” head coach Jeanne Sutherland said. “The next step is to make it to the Championships. You always want to get better as the season progresses, and I think that we are peaking at the right time of year. We’ll have a good week of practice this week, and we look forward to competing next week.”

Congrats on making it to Regionals...next step the NCAA championship.
When was the last time the women made it to NCAA's? Late 90's?
