TULSA, Okla. –– Tulsa Golden Hurricane golfer Lilly Thomas received an invitation to participate in the NCAA Stillwater Regional, as the NCAA announced today the 72 teams and 36 individuals for regional competition. NCAA Regional competition takes place May 9-11 with 12 teams and six individuals competing at each site.
Thomas, a junior from Bentonville, Ark., earned all-conference honors for the second consecutive season when she was named to the 15-member American Athletic Conference squad a day earlier. It's her first appearance at the NCAA Regional Championship.

She had a career-best second place showing at the Texas State Invitational with a 2-under par score of 214. Thomas also placed fifth at The Bruzzy, sixth at the Columbia Classic and seventh at the season-opening Samuel P. Golden Invitational.
In 30 rounds this season, Thomas has a team-best 72.7 stroke average and has tallied six sub-70 rounds.
The NCAA Championship is scheduled for May 20-25 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., as the top four teams and two individuals from each of the six regional sites will advance to the championship round.
