BERMUDA RUN, N.C./AUBURN, Ala. (May 5, 2024) – The Delaware women’s golf team is headed to Bermuda Run, North Carolina, for NCAA Regional play, while Charleston senior Viktoria Hund earned an individual at-large selection at the Auburn Regional hosted at the Auburn University Club.
 
Delaware’s team and Hund will compete in 54 holes of stroke play at their various regional sites. The top five teams and the low individual not on an advancing team from each regional site will advance to compete in the national championships to be played May 17-22 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California.
 
Delaware is the No. 10 seed in the 12-team regional hosted by top seed Wake Forest. The Blue Hens and Demon Deacons will be joined by Texas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, UCF, South Florida, Tennessee, Oregon State, North Texas, Charleston Southern, and Navy. The Blue Hens are one of six conference champions (CAA, ACC, Big 12, SEC, Big South, Patriot) at the Regional.
 
Delaware earned the CAA’s automatic qualifier to NCAA Regionals with a thrilling finish to the 2024 CAA Women’s Golf Championship at The Clubs at St. James in North Carolina on April 12-14. The Blue Hens improved by 20 shots from the First Round’s gusty conditions to the final round to push past Charleston and UNCW by four shots.
 
Delaware will play in a Regional for the first time since 2017 when the Blue Hens last won the CAA title. Delaware competed in the Bryan Regional in 2016 and the Columbus Regional in 2017. This is the third year of the current format of 12-team Regionals; Charleston finished 10th and ninth in the first two years of the format as the CAA’s automatic qualifier.
 
Hund earned the last individual at-large spot in regional competition after pushing Delaware’s Lilia Henkel to an individual playoff at the CAA Championship. She is the second individual at-large selection in as many years for the CAA, as UNCW’s Mallory Fobes was selected in 2023. Hund will play in an NCAA Regional for the fourth consecutive year, as Charleston earned a team at-large selection in 2021 before back-to-back CAA titles in 2022 and 2023.
