No. 4 Stanford begins NCAA postseason play on Monday when they travel to East Lansing, Michigan for the NCAA East Lansing Regional at Forest Akers West Golf Course. The Cardinal is the No. 1 seed in the Regional after posting two wins and five top-three finishes so far this season.
"We're really excited to see the golf course and excited to see the grass," Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf Anne Walker said. "It's a part of the country we haven't been, at least in my time here as head coach, but we'll be ready.
"The challenge of Regionals is that you're always competing against some schools who are free swinging. For a lot of them, they're pleased to be there and have nothing to lose. For a team like us coming off a good year, we can't play defensively; we have to play conservatively to limit big mistakes and we'll be okay."
The Cardinal is making its 27th straight appearance in an NCAA Regional. They have won the Regional in three straight seasons and have advanced to the NCAA Championships in each of the last nine seasons. To qualify for the NCAA Championships, which will be held in Fayetteville, Arkansas, from May 17-22, the Cardinal must finish in the top six at the Regional.
