COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Women's Golf heads to Tallahassee, Florida, for its 12th appearance in NCAA postseason play as the Tigers were selected as the No. 15 seed in the 2018 NCAA Tallahassee Regional. Mizzou will compete from May 7-9 in hopes of snagging a spot at the 2018 NCAA Championship Finals in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Tigers will be paired with Denver and Coastal Carolina on the course on Monday. The trio of squads begins teeing off at 8:50 a.m. CT.
This is the seventh time Mizzou has advanced to an NCAA Regional under the direction of head coach Stephanie Priesmeyer. The last time the Tigers advanced to NCAA postseason play was in 2016, when they finished 12th at the East Regional.

This will be the second time this season that the Tigers will compete at the Don Veller Seminole Course after placing sixth at the Florida State Match-Up in February.
