Oklahoma City, Okla. - Central Methodist University freshman golfer Cassandra Contreras is set to compete in the NAIA Women's Golf National Championships May 25-28 at Rose Creek Golf Course in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Contreras has made an immediate impact on the program since stepping on campus this past fall. The Goodyear, Ariz. native was the individual conference champion at the conference championships in April, was tabbed as the Heart Golfer of the Year, and earned all-conference honors.
She was recognized as the Heart Golfer of the Week on three different occasions and finished in the Top 10 in all eight of Central's tournaments this year as well as a first-place finish at the Evangel Invitational.
There were eight individual qualifiers (seven automatic individual qualifiers and one at-large individual qualifier) in this year's championships. To receive an individual automatic berth, a player must win her respective conference tournament or be an All-Tournament Team honoree from the previous year's national championships that did not qualify otherwise. To earn an at-large individual berth, the selection is determined by the NAIA Women's Golf Championship Committee.
Contreras will tee off on hole 10 Tuesday, May 25 at 1:45 p.m. in the first round and then 8:45 a.m. on hole one Wednesday, May 25 for round two.
Each day of the national championship will be captured in a video daily recap, available for free on the NAIA Facebook page. Highlights, interviews, and more can be seen by 8 p.m. CDT each day.
