Irvine, Calif. – UC Irvine women's golfers Michelle Park and Luciane Lee were selected to participate as individuals in the NCAA West Regional held May 9-11 at the Stanford Golf Course.
The UCI duo, who were two of the six individuals selected to participate in the West Regional, join Stella Lee and Angela Won as the only Anteater players to advance to NCAA competition as an individual.

Along with the West, two other regional sites will be held at the Auburn University Club in Auburn Alabama (East) and the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club in Norman, Oklahoma (Central) to determine the championships field. Regional tournaments are considered preliminary rounds of NCAA championships competition.
The top eight teams and two individuals will advance from each regional.
The championships finals will be held May 21-24 at the University of Georgia Golf Course in Athens, Georgia and will be hosted by the University of Georgia.
Park, a senior, has posted four top 10 finishes this season and leads UCI with a 75.33 scoring average. Lee, a freshman, follows with a 76.05 average, placing second at the Fresno State Lexus Classic and third at the Juli Inkster Invitational. She was named Big West Golfer of the Month for March.
