SWOSU – picked third in the poll – finished fourth at last year's GAC Championship and snapped a 10-year program streak of consecutive regional berths. Four new additions, including three freshmen, join seven returners from last season to make up the 11-man roster who will look to begin a new NCAA Tournament streak.
Brad Fleetwood, leader of both the men's and women's golf programs at SWOSU, returns for year 13 at the helm. The new campaign begins September 9 and will span through October 29. The spring portion of the schedule, which will include the conference championship, remains unreleased.
