CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The No. 32-ranked University of Miami women’s golf team is the No. 8 seed in the NCAA Regional site that will be held at Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club in St. George, Utah.

BYU will serve as the host institution for the 54-hole regional championship that takes place May 7-9.

Miami’s bid to the St. George Regional Site marks the third straight year the Hurricanes have received a bid to the NCAA Championships.

The national championship will be held on May 22-27 at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida. The University of South Florida will serve as the tournament host. The Golf Channel will televise the final three days of the championship live.
