The No. 1 University of Redlands women's golf team looks forward to competing in the NCAA Division III Championships for the fourth time since the program's inception in 2007.  According to the NCAA's announcement, the Bulldogs gained one of four at-large bids to the national tournament and join 21 automatic qualifiers for the postseason opportunity.  In addition, six individuals not from the selected teams will compete at the NCAA Championships, which take place May 11-14 at the Forest Akers Golf Course in Lansing, Michigan. Olivet College and Greater Lansing Sports Authority will serve as the hosts.

In addition, Chapman University's Kaila Higgins was selected as one of the six individuals.

The Maroon and Gray took first at the recent conference championships, with sophomore Hannah Jugar (Chula Vista, CA) leading the team with her first-place individual finish. Furthermore, the Bulldogs impressively took places first through fifth for an outstanding total-team effort.

According to GolfStat, the Bulldogs boast an adjusted scoring average of 76.42. Jugar takes the top spot nationally while junior Kendall Nicholson (Bellevue, WA) takes eighth place with adjusted scoring averages of 73.76 and 78.03, respectively.

The championships will consist of both team and individual competitions conducted concurrently. Following 54 holes of competition, the field will be cut to the top 15 teams and top six individuals not on one of those teams to compete on the final day.  In the team competition, the low four scores from each team for each day will count in the team's total score.
