Ravens Earned Automatic Qualifier by Winning NE10 Title.
MANSFIELD, Mass. - The Franklin Pierce women's golf team will be representing the Northeast-10 Conference in the Division II East Regional on May 3-5, as made official by the NCAA's announcement on Monday afternoon. The Ravens, NE10 champions, earned the league's automatic qualifier bid and will compete for an NCAA Championship as part of a 36-team field.
Franklin Pierce was selected as the nine seed in the East Region and will travel to Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel, Ind., with the University of Indianapolis serving as host for the event. All four regional sites will consist of nine teams and four individuals from non-qualifying teams, with all participants playing 54 holes.
The top three teams and top three individuals from each super regional will advance to the championships, which will be held May 11-15 at TPC Michigan in Dearborn, Mich. The number of participants that qualify for the final is 72.
The Ravens were led by individual medalist Zoey Yamamoto last week at Cold Spring Country Club, as the program repeated as NE10 champions - securing their third title in the past four seasons. It is only the second time in program history that Franklin Pierce has earned a bid to the NCAA Championships.
