NCAA REGIONAL HISTORY
The Cougars have never missed an NCAA Regional in which the team was eligible to compete dating back to 2015. The program began under Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell during the 2013-14 season with three student-athletes competing as individuals, per NCAA rules.
The No. 8 seed ties as the second-highest postseason seed for the Cougars in their young history. Houston was a No. 8 seed at the 2019 Auburn Regional and competed as the No. 7 seed at the 2018 NCAA Austin Regional.
The 2020 NCAA Regionals and NCAA Championships were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In its most recent NCAA postseason appearance, the Cougars finished 11th at the 2019 NCAA Auburn Regional. Leonie Harm and Maddy Rayner tied for 33rd at 222 to lead the Cougars.
Harm is the only Cougar to compete at the NCAA Championships, qualifying as an individual in 2018 and in 2016.
This will be the second time Houston competes at the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional at University Club. In 2016, the Cougars finished seventh, while Harm tied for seventh after firing 69s in the First and Final Round to become the first Cougar to qualify for the NCAA Championships as an individual.
