The No. 6 ranked LSU women’s golf team is headed to South Bend, Ind.
Following a third-place finish a week ago in the Southeastern Conference tournament, the Lady Tigers begin NCAA regional play Thursday as the No. 3 seed in the Central Regional at the Warren Golf Course.
LSU is one of 24 teams to tee it up in South Bend with the top eight advancing to the NCAA Championship in College Station, Texas, beginning Wednesday, May 18.
The Central Regional field is headlined by No. 1 seed UCLA and No. 2 seed Duke. SEC rival Arkansas and Texas round out the top five.
“We are very excited about what lies ahead of us,” LSU coach Karen Bahnsen said in a news release. “It’s where I thought we were going to end up going. We look forward to some good things happening for us there.”
Senior Megan McChrystal qualified for the NCAA championship last season and shot a course-record 64 in the final round to finish fourth.
