The NCAA has announced the field of 80 teams and 32 student-athletes competing as individuals that have been selected to participate in the regional competition of the 2023 NCAA Division II Men’s Golf Championship. Regional play will be conducted May 11th – 13th. The Atlantic/East Region Championship will be contested at The Iron Valley Golf Club in Lebanon, Pa.
“This is the first in the history of the CIAA Conference that three CIAA Teams (Fayetteville State University, Livingstone College, and Virginia Union University) were selected to participate based upon Head-to-Head competition within the Atlantic Region,” said Virginia Union’s Head Golf Coach E. Lee Coble.
“In the past the way a CIAA Team has gotten an automatic bid was to win the CIAA Championship. We were determined to qualify based upon our overall season record.”
VUU was ranked in the top 10 in the Atlantic Region throughout the 2022-23 Golf Season. VUU finished in 5th place in the final ranking on Friday, April 28th NCAA Regional Committee Meeting. “Qualifying for the Regional Championship was one of the goals we set at the beginning of the season. Coach Bowers and I remain very proud of this golf team and look forward to our continued post season play”, said Coach Coble.
