This marks the ninth consecutive NCAA postseason berth for the Wildcats, all under the leadership of head coach Emily Fletcher and assistant coach Beth Miller. Northwestern has earned a Top-2 finish in three straight Regionals, and has posted the program's best-ever finish at four consecutive NCAA Championships, culminating in last spring's stroke play title, No. 1 match play seed and runner-up result.
Northwestern's lineup for the Regional, in a 5-count-4 format, will be:
1. Janet Mao
2. Hannah Kim
3. Stephanie Lau
4. Brooke Riley
5. Sarah Cho
The Wildcats will be joined in Madison by top-seeded Duke, Southern California, Arizona State, Illinois, Purdue, Iowa State, Virginia, Wisconsin, Campbell, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Old Dominion, Oregon State, Idaho, Murray State, North Dakota State and IUPUI. The group includes three of last year's four NCAA Championships semifinalists in the Wildcats, Trojans and Sun Devils, as well as four of the Top-6 finishers at last weekend's Big Ten Championships.
The six individuals invited to compete are Connie Jaffrey (Kansas State), Pinyada Kuvanun (Toledo), Pun Chanachai (New Mexico State), Elsa Moberly (Eastern Kentucky), Erin Harper (Indiana) and Cara Basso (Penn State).
The low six teams and three individuals not on those teams from each of the four NCAA Regional sites (Madison, Austin, Tallahassee, San Francisco) will advance to the 2018 NCAA Championships. The NCAA Championships will be held May 18-23 at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla. The final three days of competition will be televised live by the Golf Channel.
This is the first NCAA event held at University Ridge since the 1998 NCAA Women's Championships. University Ridge has also hosted the Big Ten Women's Championships in 2000 and 2010 and the Big Ten Men's Championships in 1995. This June, the course will host the PGA Champions Tour American Family Insurance Championship for the third-straight year.
