ULM: 2023 NCAA San Antonio Regional Notes
 
TEAM NOTES
• ULM is making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Women's Golf Regional as an automatic qualifier, thanks to winning the 2023 Sun Belt Conference Championship in Daytona Beach, Florida, on April 18.
 
• ULM claimed its first Sun Belt Conference Women's Golf Championship in program history on April 18, defeating Texas State by two strokes on the second playoff hole. The Warhawks and Bobcats completed the 54-hole tournament tied at 16-over-par 880.
 
With all five golfers in each lineup participating in the tiebreaker, ULM and Texas State remained tied (21-21) after the first playoff hole as each team recorded four pars and a bogey on the par-4, 340-yard 18th hole.
 
The Warhawks closed out the match at the par-4, 356-yard 10th hole. Anna Andrysova posted her second birdie of the day at the decisive hole, converting a 25-foot putt to give ULM a two-stroke lead, and Chantal Dueringer's short putt for par touched off a wild celebration as the Warhawks won the second tiebreaker, 21-23.
 
ULM's playoff victory punctuated a remarkable turnaround, winning its first Sun Belt Conference Women's Golf Championship in program history a year removed from finishing last (11th place) in the 2022 league's tournament at 57-over 921.
 
• ULM once again showcased the depth of its lineup in the Sun Belt Conference Championship as the Warhawks were the only team with their top four scorers listed in the Top 15, with Chantal Dueringer finishing second at even-par 216, Alessia Mengoni tied for sixth at 4-over 220, Johanna Sjursen tied for 10th at 5-over 221 and Anna Andrysova tied for 14th at 7-over 223. Dueringer and Mengoni were named to the Sun Belt Championship All-Tournament Team by placing inside the top six on the individual leaderboard.
 
ULM placed its top four scorers inside the Top 20 in two other tournaments in 2022-23: at the GCU Invitational (Mengoni: tied for first; Dueringer: fourth; Andrysova: tied for eighth; and Sjursen: tied for 19th) and Bama Beach Bash (Dueringer: first; Sjursen: tied for fifth; Andrysova: tied for eighth; and Sara Hagglund: tied for 15th).
 
• Under second-year head coach Rachel Pollock, ULM has played as well as any team down the stretch, winning four of its last five tournaments while posting a 52-1-1 record in its last 54 head-to-head stroke play against NCAA Division I opponents. The Warhawks started the stretch by winning the team title at the GCU Invitational at 13 strokes, finishing at 19-under 845. After placing second in the HCU Husky Invitational, ULM has reeled off three consecutive tournament titles: Bama Beach Bash, ULM Invitational and Sun Belt Conference Championship.
 
Overall, the Warhawks have won a program single-season record five tournaments in 2022-23, with its first title coming at The Judson last November. ULM broke the previous record of four tournament wins set by the 2013-14 team.
 
• Alessia Mengoni and Chantal Dueringer have combined to win three individual titles in 2022-23.
 
Mengoni carded a 6-under-par 66 in the third round to climb four spots into a three-way tie for first place at 8-under 208 (69-73-66) at the GCU Invitational. Her 66 tied the second-lowest round in program history and her 54-hole total tied the school record, shared by Alison Knowles who shot a 208 in the 2013 Lady Red Wolf Classic. She recorded eight birdies in the final round, including six on the front nine. Mengoni claimed medalist honors for the second time, shooting an even-par 216 at the ULM Invitational.
 
Dueringer won her first career championship after finishing with a 5-under 211 at the Bama Beach Bash. The 211 marked the third-lowest 54-hole total of her career and tied for the fifth-lowest score in program history.
