Fourth Place Finish at RMAC Championships Puts Regis Women's Golf in Regional Contention
Litchfield Park, Ariz. The Regis University women's golf team has aspirations of earning the programs first NCAA Division II Tournament berth and with a fourth place finish they put themselves in a good position to do so.

The Rangers are ranked 10th in the most recent regional rankings and trail Adams State, who is in ninth place. The reason ninth and 10th place matter so much is because the Central Region Tournament is limited to the top nine teams.
