INDIANAPOLIS – The No. 27 Texas A&M women’s golf team was selected to the 2013 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf wEst Regional where it will compete for a berth in the NCAA Championship, the NCAA announced on Monday.

The top eight teams and two individuals advance from each regional to the NCAA Championship which is held May 21-24 at the University of Georgia Golf Course in Athens, Ga., and is hosted by University of Georgia.

“We are very excited about the West selection and going back to Stanford,” A&M head coach Trelle McCombs said. “The course is beautiful and the people there are great. Only one player on our roster has seen the course, Sarah Beth Davis, but the last time we were out there we had good luck so I feel pretty good about the selection.”

The Aggies were one of 24 teams sent to the West Regional and were seeded eighth behind No. 1 Southern California, No. 5 Arizona, No. 8 Vanderbilt, No. 9 Purdue, No. 11 Stanford, No. 18 Georgia and No. 21 Baylor.
