4/27/2022 5:00:00 PM | Women's Golf
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana freshman Áine Donegan, who was recently named to the All-Big Ten Second Team, has earned an individual spot in the 2022 NCAA Ann Arbor Regional played at the University of Michigan Golf Course, the NCAA announced on Wednesday.
Donegan will be the first player to represent Indiana in an NCAA Regional as an individual since Erin Harper (2018) played in the Stillwater Regional. The Hoosiers made a regional appearance as a team in 2019, finishing sixth in the NCAA Lansing Regional.
Tracy Chapman (1988) and Debbie Lee (1989) are the only additional individuals to qualify for a regional in program history. The team has made 11 total regionals since 1985.
During her debut collegiate season, Donegan set the Indiana University single-season and freshman stroke average (72.92). She played all 26 rounds for the Hoosiers in nine events. She placed inside the top-10 in four events and was twice a top-5 finisher. Her first collegiate victory came in the Courtney Cole Invitational.
The NCAA selected 72 teams, 12 teams in each of the six regionals, and 36 individuals, six in each regional, to compete in postseason play. Each regional will consist of a 54-hole tournament from May 9-11. The low four teams and the low two individuals, not on one of those teams, will advance to the NCAA Championships to be played from May 20-25 at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.
