For the third consecutive year, the Ferris State University women's golf team has earned a berth into the 2024 NCAA Division II East Regional Championships as the national organization unveiled its postseason qualifiers on Monday as selected by the national committee.

The Bulldogs are one of four squads from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to secure a postseason berth for the East Regional, which will take place May 6 to 8 at the Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel, Ind. The regional championships will be hosted by the University of Indianapolis.

Along with Ferris State, the qualifiers also included Grand Valley State University, Wayne State University, and Davenport University from the GLIAC.

Two years ago, the Bulldogs placed 11th at the East Regional Championships in their first team trip to the postseason since 2014 when Ferris State finished fourth overall in the regional championships.

The Bulldogs previously made 13 consecutive NCAA appearances from 2002 to 2014. Last season, Ferris State placed seventh overall in the East Regional in Springfield, Ill.

Fifteen teams were selected from the East Region from six conferences in addition to six individual competitors from non-advancing schools.

All participants will compete through the 54 holes of competition with the top six teams from the East Region along with the top two individuals non on an advancing team moving on to the national championships set for May 21-25 at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge in Winter Garden, Fla.

Overall, the Bulldogs have twice captured a regional championship in 2003-04 and 2006-07 while attaining runner-up honors four times (2004-05, 2005-06, 2007-08, 2008-09).

Prior to earning an at-large bid this year, Ferris State reached the NCAA Tourney last year as the GLIAC's automatic qualifier after winning the league championship for the first time since 2007 during the 2023 spring season in Augusta, Mich. This year, the Bulldogs reached the conference semifinals two weeks ago in Augusta.
