NC State Qualifies for NCAA Tournament


RALEIGH – The NC State women’s golf team’s postseason fate was revealed on Wednesday, learning that the Wolfpack will be competing in the Stillwater Regional at Karsten Creek Golf Club alongside eleven of the nation’s top teams.
 
The selection into the NCAA Tournament marks NC State’s 10th-straight year being represented at a regional, and its 19th time in the last 20 seasons. Each of the Pack’s tournament appearances have taken place under the direction of long-time head coach Page Marsh.
 
Hosted by top-seeded Oklahoma State, NC State serves as the ninth-seeded team in the 12-team region, having already competed against seven of the eleven programs they will be facing, which includes Auburn, Baylor, Campbell, Clemson, Furman, Michigan State, and Tulane.
 
Regionals are slated to take place May 9-11, in which the top-four finishers from the six regionals will qualify for the NCAA Championship at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. The tournament format is a change from years past, switching from four 18-team regionals to six 12-team regionals.
 
A potential NCAA Championship appearance would be the fifth in program’s history, with 2015 serving as the most recent.
 
An impressive year from NC State was highlighted by a third-place finish at the Wolfpack Match Play, the final competition of the regular season, as well as the team’s best performance at the ACC Championship since 2017.
 
Individually, the emergence of underclassmen Lauren Olivares Leon and Isabel Amezcua were a major storyline for the Pack, as well continued veteran leadership from Lea Klimentova, Natalie Armbruester and Inja Fric.
 
Further updates surrounding the NCAA Women’s Golf Tournament will soon be made available on GoPack.com.
