The High Point University women's golf team has secured the No. 9 seed in the Chapel Hill Regional for the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship. This marks a historic achievement as it is the team's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament after winning the Big South Conference title. They are currently ranked No. 60, their highest ever. Head Coach Lyndsey Hunnell expressed excitement about the team's performance and their familiarity with the course. The regional event will take place from May 11-13 at the UNC Finley Golf Course.

By the Numbers
  • High Point ranked No. 60, marking their highest ranking in program history.
  • The team secured their first NCAA Championship appearance after winning the Big South Conference title.
Yes, But

While the Panthers are celebrated for this achievement, they face strong competition in the Chapel Hill Regional, including teams like Texas and North Carolina.

State of Play
  • The Chapel Hill Regional features 12 teams and 6 individuals at each site.
  • The event will be hosted by North Carolina at the UNC Finley Golf Course.
What's Next

The Panthers will need to perform well in the regional to advance to the national championships, where only the top five teams and one individual will qualify.

Bottom Line

High Point's historic NCAA qualification showcases their growth, but succeeding in a competitive regional will test their capabilities and determination.
