EUGENE, Ore. – The road to the NCAA Championships begins Friday with the NCAA West Regional Championships at Haggin Oaks Golf Course in Sacramento, Calif. The top two men’s and women’s teams from the West Regional earn automatic bids to the NCAA Championships Nov. 23 in Terre Haute, Ind., while a number of at-large bids will also be up for grabs.

The Duck men lead the West Region teams with a No. 4 national ranking, while Stanford (No. 6) and Portland (No. 10) also figure to be in the picture for the two automatic spots. No. 28 Arizona State, No. 29 Washington and Boise State (also receiving votes) will be looking to make their final pushes for men’s NCAA bids on Friday.
