NOTEWORTHY
- North Florida is making the program's fifth appearance in the NCAA DI Championship (first since 2013)

Trace shot a two-under par 208 in the NCAA Stanford Regional and was the top individual finisher among teams that didn't advance, finishing two shots better than the next best individual in the regional
- Trace joins Rhys Enoch as the only individuals to qualify for the NCAA Championship in ASUN history... Enoch competed in the 2010 NCAA Championship and finished in a tie for 34th
- Trace will be paired with Will Zalatoris (Wake Forest) and Chandler Phillips (Texas A&M) for the opening two rounds of play... He starts on Hole 1 at 2:17 p.m. CT (3:17 p.m. ET) on Day 1 followed by an 8:57 a.m. CT (9:57 a.m. ET) tee time from Hole 10 in round two
- Current Osprey assistant coach Jeff Dennis is the only other UNF golfer to qualify as an individual for NCAA postseason play having participated in the 2007 NCAA East Regional
-Â Rich Harvest Farms, the course for this weekend's NCAA Championship, was the site of NCAA Men's Regionals in 2007 and 2014. In addition, the 2009 Solheim Cup, 2015 Palmer Cup and 2015 WGA Western Amateur were all played at Rich Harvest Farms
SAY WHAT...
"Travis played well all week at the Regional and had a good overall season. The course is awesome and will help identify the best players in the field. It should be a fun few days for him. We are very proud of his accomplishment and are looking forward to see how he performs on the big stage." -- Head coach Scott Schroeder
