TEMPE, Ariz. – The No. 12 Arizona State women's golf team heads north to Madison, Wisc. May 7-9 for their 26th consecutive NCAA Regionals appearance, competing every year since Regionals was created in 1993.
The Sun Devils are one of just 10 Division I women's golf teams to earn a spot at NCAA Regionals every year for the past 26. Teams who have appeared for 18 or more years and their corresponding streaks are as follows:
Arizona State will be the No. 3 seed in a region that features ACC champion and No. 2 seed Duke as well as No. 2 seed USC. Following the Sun Devils, by seed, the other Madison Regional participants are Northwestern, Illinois, Purdue, Iowa State, Virginia, Wisconsin, Campbell, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Old Dominion, Oregon State, Idaho, Murray State, North Dakota State, and IUPUI.
The Madison regional features six Golfstat top-25 teams, including No. 4 Duke, No. 6 USC, No. 12 Sun Devils, as well as No. 13 Northwestern, No. 20 Illinois, and No. 23 Purdue.
The individual qualifiers in Madison will be Connie Jaffrey (Kansas State), Pinyada Kuvanun (Toledo), Pun Chanachai (New Mexico State), Elsa Moberly (Eastern Kentucky), Erin Harper (Indiana), Cara Basso (Penn State).
Last season, the Sun Devils won their first NCAA Regionals since 2009 (fifth all-time), shooting 22-under in Lubbock, Texas. Monica Vaughn, Olivia Mehaffey, and Linnea Strom went 1-2-3 in the field.
The University of Wisconsin's home course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 1991. It has hosted several championships including the American Family Championship (PGA TOUR Champions) from 2016-18 as well as the NCAA DI Women's Championship in 1998 and the Men's (1995, 2005) and Women's (2000, 2010) Big Ten Conference Championship.
The other three regional sites are Austin, Texas, San Francisco, Calif., and Tallahassee, Fla.
10 of 11 Pac-12 teams made NCAA Regionals, a testament to the strength of the best conference in women's golf, with Oregon State and USC joining ASU in Madison, Arizona and Washington in Tallahassee, and UCLA, Stanford, Colorado, Cal, Oregon in San Francisco.
Each of four regionals features 18 teams and six teams per regional (24 total) will advance to NCAA Championships May 18-23 in Stillwater, Okla. The top three individuals at each regional not from qualifying teams (12 total) will also advance to Stillwater.
