OXFORD, Miss. - As conference championships for women's golf wrapped up this weekend, the Ole Miss women's golf team will learn its destination for the NCAA Championships Monday night in a conference call with the NCAA Selection Committee.
The Rebels are expected to earn their third straight NCAA Regional appearance under head coach Michele Drinkard. The team participated in the NCAA East Regional in Gainesville, Fla., in 2009 and then qualified for the NCAA Central Regional in Columbus, Ind., last year.
Regionals will take place May 4-7 at three different sites. The NCAA East Regional will be played at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla., the Central Regional will be held at Warren Golf Course in Notre Dame, Ind., and the West Regional will be played at Washington National Golf Club in Auburn, Wash.
"We are excited to learn our postseason destination tomorrow," Drinkard said. "Wherever we are selected to go, the team is fired up to play and advance to the NCAA Finals."
Former All-SEC performer Sara Grantham finished runner-up at the U.S. Public Links Championship on the Warren Golf Course last summer, and former two-time All-American Dori Carter qualified for the LPGA Tour on the LPGA International Course last fall. Assistant coach Janell Howland has also played LPGA International many times.
The NCAA Finals will be held May 16-21 at the Traditions Club in College Station, Texas.
