RICHMOND, Va. — The Richmond Spiders will compete in the Chapel Hill Regional of the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships on May 11-13, the NCAA announced Wednesday. Richmond, which earned the automatic bid from the Atlantic 10 after winning its second straight A-10 title last Wednesday, will compete along with 11 other teams and six individuals at Finley Golf Club. The top five teams from each of the six regional sites will advance to compete at the NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif. from May 22-27.
