The NCAA Albuquerque Regional for women’s golf won’t lack New Mexico flavor when the three-day event takes place at the UNM Championship Course May 9-11.
University of New Mexico juniors Jenny Lertsadwattana and Lauren Lehigh were selected as individuals to compete in the event, while New Mexico State, the Western Athletic Conference champion, will be coming to Albuquerque for the regional, the NCAA announced on Wednesday.
However, the host team won’t be there; UNM had hoped for an at-large berth that did not come.
“It’s highly disappointing for the team,” UNM coach Jill Trujillo said.
