Top-ranked Duke along with ACC champ and third-ranked Wake Forest are among the NCAA favorites. They’ll be joined by eight of the other 12 conference members that field women’s golf teams. Florida State, which finished second in the ACC, figures to be another strong contender.

There are four 18-team regionals in the country. The top six finishers from each regional, along with three individuals not on qualifying teams, will then gather May 17-22 at The Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Ark., for the NCAA Championship Tournament.

Duke is the top seed in the Auburn Regional and will be joined by ACC members Florida State, Virginia and Clemson.

Wake Forest is the second seed in the Norman, Okla., Regional and will see familiar foes in Virginia Tech and N.C. State.

At the East Lansing, Mich., Regional, the ACC will be represented by North Carolina and Louisville while Miami is the only league team in the Regional field at Cle Elum, Wash.
