Women's Golf Team Selected for NCAA Athens Regional
April 27, 2017 | Women's Golf
The Ivy League champion Princeton women's golf team was selected to the NCAA Athens Regional Thursday as one of 18 teams seeking six spots to advance to the NCAA Championships.
The regional will run May 8-10 at the University of Georgia Golf Course. While the top six teams will gain a berth in the NCAA finals, set for May 19-24 at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill., the top three players not on those six teams will also advance.
Princeton joins Alabama, Georgia, Northwestern, Arizona, Baylor, Wake Forest, Central Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Clemson, Augusta, Auburn, Kansas State, Michigan State, Troy, North Florida and Quinnipiac at the regional.
It'll be Princeton's first NCAA team bid to the regionals since 2005 and fourth overall, along with trips in 2001 and 2004.Â
Princeton gained the Ivy League's automatic bid to the NCAA Regional after winning the Ivy League Championship by 31 strokes over runner-up Harvard, the third-largest margin in the 21 Ivy championship tournaments held since the inaugural in 1997. Princeton's 891 team score set a program record for a three-round event and was one off the Ivy record for a three-round championship, set by Harvard in 2008. Sophomore Amber Wang won medalist honors, Princeton's first Ivy individual champ since Kelly Shon '14 in 2013.
A preview of the regional will be posted next week on GoPrincetonTigers.com.Â
