NCAA Women's Regionals Set to Commence


UCLA (West), Arizona State (Central) and Duke (East) are the No. 1 seeds for the NCAA Women's Regionals, which will be played May 6-8 at three sites across the U.S.

Arizona State's disqualification because of two players' illness at last week's Pac-10 Championship cost the Sun Devils the overall top spot in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings. UCLA took over as the new No. 1 seed.

Twenty-four teams and three individuals made each of the three Regionals. The top eight teams and two individuals from each region will advance to the NCAA Championships.

A total of 369 participants have been selected for the regional competition. Of these players, 126 will advance to the championships finals. Eight teams and two individuals will advance from each regional.

The championships finals will be held May 18-21 at the Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington, N.C. and be hosted by the University of North Carolina, Wilmington.
