INDIANAPOLIS, IND. - The BIG EAST Champion Seton Hall women's golf team will compete in the Raleigh Regional of the 2015 NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships, May 7-9.
The Raleigh Regional will be played at the Lonnie Poole Golf Course in Raleigh, North Carolina and will be hosted by North Carolina State University.
"We're thrilled to be heading to Raleigh, the closest location of the four possible regionals," said head coach Sara Doell. "It is certainly the most convenient for us and it's a location that our friends and family will be able to travel to easily. We can't wait to get there."
For the first time in 13 years the regional format has changed. Instead of three regions representing 24 teams and the top eight in each region moving on to nationals, there are four regions with 18 teams each and the top six will move on.
Seton Hall is the #16 seed in the 18-team field. South Carolina is the top seed, followed by LSU and Mississippi State. Behind the Pirates are #17 Wichita State and #18 Fairleigh Dickinson.
Regional tournaments are considered preliminary rounds of NCAA championships competition, and all national championships policies apply. The South Bend Region will be played at Warren Golf Course in South Bend, Indiana. The University of Notre Dame will host. The San Antonio Region will be played at Briggs Ranch Golf Club in San Antonio, Texas. The University of Texas - San Antonio will serve as the host institution. The St. George Region will be played at Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club in St. George, Utah. Brigham Young University will serve as host.
The championships finals will be held May 22-27 at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida and will be hosted by the University of South Florida.
Seton Hall won entrance into the prestigious championship event by winning the BIG EAST Conference championship last week for a second year in a row. The Pirates slipped past Georgetown by one stroke to claim its second title.
Last year, Seton Hall was the #23 seed in the 24-team East Regional in Tallahassee, Fla. The Pirates finished with a 48-over-par, 302-301-309-912, to place 21st.
