HOUSTON â€" After earning its second conference title in three years and earning numerous All-American Athletic Conference awards, the 23rd-ranked University of Houston Women's Golf team learns its postseason destination during the NCAA Selection Show.
The show airs at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, on Golf Channel's Golf Central and will be streamed live on the Golf Channel web site. Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell, Associate Head Coach Lucy Nunn and the Cougars will watch the show as a team inside the Dave Williams Golf Academy.
