UCLA, Alabama and USC drew the No. 1 seeds for NCAA Women’s Regionals, to be played May 10-12 at three sites across the country. The 24-team fields were named April 30, and UCLA and Alabama will play on their respective home coasts while USC will take the top spot in the Central Region.
Top-ranked UCLA will play for a seventh season win at Colorado Golf Club, but will have to hold off fellow top-10 programs LSU, North Carolina and California, plus host Colorado in the Rockies.
Alabama, ranked No. 2 by Golfweek, will have the opportunity to defend its East Regional title. Arizona State and Duke will present the biggest obstacles.
USC enters regionals after falling one shot short of California at the Pac-12 Championship. The Trojans won a regional in the Midwest two years ago. This year, their toughest competition comes from No. 2 seeded Auburn, a team that just won the SEC Championship.
Eight teams from each region will advance to the NCAA Championship, to be played May 22-25 at the Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, Tennessee.
