The Bearcat
golf team has been invited to its second straight NCAA Division
II Super Regional. The Super Regional will be held at Silo
Ridge Golf and Country Club in Bolivar on May 5-7.
“We are tremendously excited about having the opportunity
to host an NCAA Super Regional,” said SBU Athletics Director
Jim Middleton. “This is the first time SBU has hosted
a golf regional. I think it speaks highly of coach Kevin Cribbs
and the work he has done with the golf program. Further, it
speaks highly of Silo Ridge for having a course worthy of
hosting an NCAA Regional. We look forward to hosting the tournament
and look forward to our fans in the Bolivar community to come
out and see some excellent golf.”
