Wesleyan to send two golfers to NCAA Atlantic/East Men’s Regional

INDIANAPOLIS – Three men’s golf programs and three individuals from the Mountain East Conference have earned NCAA postseason bids to compete at the 2024 NCAA Atlantic/East Regional Tournament, which will be played at Oglebay Golf Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia, with West Liberty University serving as the event’s host.

Regional play is set for May 9-11.

The University of Charleston was announced as the top seed in the Atlantic Region on Friday afternoon and will be joined at the regional by Glenville State and Davis & Elkins. The Senators earned the league’s automatic bid by winning the MEC Men’s Golf Championship back in October.
