• The NCAA Championship takes place May 17-22 at The Blessings Golf Course in Fayetteville, Arkansas, hosted by the University of Arkansas.
• From May 17-19, all 24 teams will play 18 holes. At the completion of 54 holes, the top 15 teams will advance to play a final round of stroke play on May 20. Following the fourth round of stroke play, the top 8 teams will advance to match play May 21-22.
• Joining Indiana in advancing from the East Lansing Regional are Kent State, Arizona, UCLA, Stanford and Illinois.
• Senior Erin Harper finished tied for seventh for the tournament at 2-over par after a final round 70 (-2). She used birdies on 6 and 8 to get to 2-under on the front nine before a bogey on 9 brought her back to 1-under. Then she recorded birdies on 11 and 13 to get to 3-under on the round and held on to that score until a bogey on the last hole.
• Last year at the NCAA Regional in Madison, Wisconsin, Harper finished tied for 7th and advanced to the NCAA Championship as an individual. This year will be her second appearance in the NCAA Championships.
• Graduate transfer Kari Bellville continued her outstanding senior season with a tie for 19th finish at 4-over par for the tournament. She carded a steady 75 on Wednesday with 13 pars and two birdies that helped offset a difficult triple bogey on the second hole of the day.
• Sophomore Priscilla Schmid closed with a 75 on Wednesday to tie for 27th place overall at 6-over par. She posted one birdie – on hole 7 – and four bogeys in her round and used some steady play on the way in to keep the Hoosiers above the cut line.
• Freshman Alexis Miestowski had her round of the tournament on Wednesday, posting a 1-under par 71 to finish in a tie for 33rd overall at 7-over par. She played her first seven holes in 1-over par but then registered birdies on three of her next four holes to get to 2-under on the round. A bogey on 14 brought her one shot back but she played the final four holes at even.
• Sophomore Mary Parsons carded a 76 in her final round to tie for 61st at 14-over par for the tournament. Parsons had numerous looks at birdie over the course of the day but was unable to get them to drop until a birdie at 15.
