ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - No. 1 BYU is ready to continue its postseason, taking on the NCAA Mountain Regionals in New Mexico on Friday, Nov. 13 at 11:00 a.m. MST.
While the Cougars' main goal is to qualify for the NCAA Championships next weekend, they also aim to avenge last year's Mountain Regional runner-up finish. A team victory from BYU would total six wins at the Mountain Regionals since 2000. It would also be the fifth year that the Cougars have been undefeated going into the NCAA Championships, the previous seasons being 2020-21, 2003, 2002 and 1998.
BYU's main competition will consist of No. 6 Northern Arizona, No. 7 New Mexico, No. 9 Colorado and No. 16 Utah. Unlike the Big 12 and NCAA Championship courses, this will be the first time the Cougars have competed on the North Golf Course at UNM.
