The St. Thomas Aquinas College Golf team holds the top spot in the latest NCAA Division II East Region poll, released on Friday.

 

After concluding the 2022 fall semester finishing first, third (twice) and fifth (twice) in five events, the Spartans began their spring season with an ninth place finish at the Wingate University J. Ralph Hargett Invitational and then followed that up with a third place finish at the University of Mount Olive The Trojan to round out the month of March.

 

In April, the team placed fifth in the Barry University Battle at the Shores, before winning the STAC Spartan Shootout last weekend.

 

St. Thomas Aquinas will return to action on Saturday, April 15 for the Columbia University Roar-EE Invitational, which takes place at the Wiltwyck Golf Club in Kingston, N.Y.

 

The Spartans will look to be participants in the NCAA Atlantic/East Super Regional for a 20th consecutive year, which in 2023 will be held at the Iron Valley Golf Course in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, May 11-13.

 

The top four teams and the top student-athlete not with a team from each regional will advance to the finals May 22-26 at Avalon Lakes Country Club in Warren, Ohio. The National Championship will be hosted by the Mountain East Conference.
