The Missouri Valley Conference is welcome to play golf around here, even after Wichita State leaves the conference.
The MVC will play its women’s golf tournament April 15-17 at Sand Creek Station in Newton, the conference announced Thursday. Missouri State will replace Wichita State as the host school.
Chris Tuohey, Kemper Sports regional manager, said the course wanted to keep the tournament, regardless of WSU’s involvement. WSU officially joins the American Athletic Conference on July 1.
“To the Valley’s credit, since we had won the bid and we wanted to host, they kept it here,” he said.
