LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University women's golf team returns to action for its spring stanza Monday, Feb. 5, when it travels to Lakewood Ranch, Fla. to tee off in the Mid-American Match Play Challenge. The Mid American Match Play Challenge is just the fifth time the squad will participate in a match play format tournament. The tournament is hosted by Bowling Green State University and takes place at Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club.
The two-day event will consist of 54 holes of match play competition. Teams are seeded one through 12 based upon the Golfstat rankings and then placed into a bracket. All teams are guaranteed three matches with losing teams from the first and second rounds continuing to compete in a consolation bracket. Each team match will consist of five individual matches.
The first round will begin Monday at 7:50 a.m. followed by the second round at approximately 12 p.m. The third and fourth round matches will be played Tuesday, Feb. 6, with a 7:50 a.m. start.
There will be a total of eight Mid-American Conference teams participating in the tournament, including Akron, BGSU, Central Michigan, EMU, Kent State, Northern Illinois, Ohio, and Western Michigan. Also joining the action is Dayton, Florida Gulf Coast, Fort Wayne, and UNC Asheville.
In the first round, the ninth-seeded Eagles tangle with No. 8 UNCA. The winner advances to play top-seeded Kent State, while the loser will battle either Ohio or Dayton.
Last year, EMU took home seventh-place after falling to No. 5 FGCU, 4.5-0.5, and No. 6 NIU, 4-1, while knocking off No. 8 Ohio, 5-0.
