West Chester University’s men’s golf squad learned that it qualified for the 2012 NCAA Division II Atlantic & East Regional late Friday in an announcement from the NCAA. The regional will be played at the Hershey Country Club – East Course in Hershey, Pa. from May 7-9.
The Golden Rams selection marks the second straight year in which West Chester has been picked as a team to play in the combined regional. Last spring, WCU placed ninth in the regional and did not advance to the NCAA Division II Men’s Golf Championships.
The Atlantic and East Regionals will be held in conjunction with one another and will consist of both team and individual competition conducted concurrently. A total of 10 teams and the top four individuals not with a team have been selected from each region to compete in the 54-hole regional. The top five teams and the top two individuals not with an advancing team (regardless of region) will move on to the finals.
