Quinnipiac Women’s Golf Season Ends Following Cancelation of NCAA Baton Rouge Regional; Hartford’s Loza Concludes Play in Columbus Regional
EDISON, N.J. (May 12, 2021) – The 2021 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Women’s Golf Champion, Quinnipiac University, saw their season come to an end on Wednesday following the cancelation of the 2021 NCAA Women’s Golf Regional in Baton Rouge, LA.
The regional, which was to take place May 10-12, was unable to begin due to severe weather occurring throughout the three days of scheduled competition. On Wednesday, tournament officials decided to cancel the competition, citing unplayable conditions.
With the cancelation of the regional, the top six seeds, along with the top three individual players not on an advancing team, are automatically advanced to the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Finals in Scottsdale, AZ. The advancing teams are LSU, Ole Miss, Baylor, Oregon, Maryland, and Alabama.
The NCAA issued a statement following the cancelation of the Baton Rouge Regional:
The NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Committee regrets that the 2021 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships regional in Baton Rouge could not be conducted as scheduled this week. The University Club has taken on over 7 inches of rain in the past several days. The Division I Women’s Golf Committee, NCAA staff and the Games Committee in Baton Rouge have been in constant communication throughout the past several days about the course conditions that have led to this unprecedented and most difficult decision.
The 2021 MAAC Women’s Golf Individual Champion, Maria Loza of the University of Hartford, completed her season at the 2021 NCAA Women’s Golf Regional in Columbus, OH. Loza completed her final round, a 13 over-par 85, to finish the regional in 90th place with a final score of 247 (+31).
