University of Southern Indiana Women’s Golf senior Anastasia Carter (Granger, Indiana) was named to the All-Great Lakes Valley Conference team for the fourth consecutive year Tuesday. Carter is getting set to compete in the NCAA Division II National Championship May 18-21 at CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora, Colorado.
With scores of 78, 76, and 74, Carter was able to qualify for the event as an individual on a non-advancing team in the East Super Regional last week. Carter, who was the third and final individual qualifier, joins Ali Green of Ashland University and Kasey Frazier of Wheeling Jesuit University as individuals advancing out of the East Super Regional. Teams advancing from the East Super Regional are the defending national champions, the University of Indianapolis, Grand Valley State University, and University of Findlay.
Carter has averaged 78.23 strokes-per-round during her final season that includes four top-five and eight top-10 finishes. Joining Carter on the All-Conference team are the top five finishers from the GLVC Championship and four others as voted on by conference coaches.
As a part of the NCAA II National Championship Festival, Carter’s final event will be a four-round, 72-hole tournament, taking place on the par 72 CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora, a suburb in the Denver metro area. The course has hosted United States Golf Association events in the past, including the 2012 U.S. Amateur Championship.
The NCAA II Festival will kick off with its opening ceremonies in Denver on Sunday, May 15 at Mile High Stadium, home of the 2016 Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos. The Festival, which is sponsored by the Denver Sport Commission, will host the NCAA II Men’s and Women’s golf, Men’s and Women’s Tennis, Women’s Lacrosse and Softball Championships.
Carter will start her first round of the women’s golf national championship on Wednesday, May 18, with the final round being played on May 21.
