BOULDER – One stroke.
That has been the difference between advancing to the national finals and going home each of the past two seasons for the University of Colorado women's golf team.
The Buffaloes have finished seventh at their respective NCAA Regional tournament the last two seasons, and in both, one shot out of the top six, which marks the cut line for teams advancing to the NCAA Finals.
With four of five players, and a coaching staff, that have endured that heartbreak, Colorado now looks forward to the NCAA San Francisco Regional, May 7-9. In a bit of irony, with a hint of teasing by the selection committee, the Buffaloes are the No. 7 seed as play begins at the Par 72, 6,369-yard TPC Harding Park Course.
"We have a bit of a chip on our shoulder," said Colorado head coach Anne Kelly, shortly after last week's announcement. "We've missed the finals by one shot, two years in a row. It was very heartbreaking for all of us last year, and I think they're very determined to make it through this year."
Aside from Colorado's tough-luck finishes the last two years, it should also be celebrated that the Buffaloes are embarking on their fifth-straight NCAA appearance and eighth in 10 years. With zero trips in the program's first 14 years (1995-2008), making the NCAA Regional round is becoming the baseline standard for Colorado.
...
Colorado will pair with No. 8 seed Louisville and No. 9 North Carolina State in the first round on Monday with that group set to tee off at 9:50 a.m. MT from hole No. 1. The Buffaloes didn't see Louisville this season, but joined NC State in Puerto Rico in February to open the spring season. The Wolfpack finished two spots and nine strokes ahead of Colorado at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic.
"Coming out of (the finish at) Pac-12, it's a great mark for where we are right now," Fan said. "You can never underestimate teams from other conferences. Once you get there it's whoever plays best."
