It is the first team regional selection since 2022
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Louisville women's golf team was selected as the No. 8 seed in the Lexington Regional at the Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky on Wednesday, the NCAA announced.
The Cardinals were picked for postseason play for the 15th time in program history after they were announced as one of 12 teams to compete in the regional. The three-day, 54-hole tournament will be played May 5-7 and the top five teams of each region will advance to the National Championship. The top individual not on an advancing team will also punch their ticket to the National Championship, which will be held May 16-21 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California.
Louisville is one of three ACC teams in the Lexington Regional, joined by No. 1 seed Florida State and No. 9 seed Miami. There are four teams ranked in the Top 25 competing in the regional including #3 Florida State, #9 USC, #15 TCU and #22 Vanderbilt. There are eight teams ranked inside the Top 50 including #28 Kansas State, #34 Georgia Southern, #40 Pepperdine and the 46th-ranked Cardinals.
The Cards are coming off an eighth place finish at the ACC Championships last week in Greensboro. Carmen Griffiths and Veronika Exposito led the way with a tied for 25th overall finish at 5-over-par. It was Griffiths highest finish at the ACC Championship in her career and it was Exposito's first appearance at ACC's in her freshman season.
Griffiths has been in an NCAA Regional in each of her three seasons with the Cardinals. She was part of the 2022 team that qualified for the Albuquerque Regional and then was selected as an individual in 2023 and 2024. Her best finish came in 2022 when she finished tied for 37th overall. Gabbi Bentancourt was also part of the team that competed at the Albuquerque Regional in 2022.
