MARICOPA, Ariz. (5/9/24) – Arkansas State women’s golf makes its team debut in postseason competition this weekend when the Red Wolves play in the second annual National Golf Invitational (NGI) at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Course.

Backed by Golfweek, the NGI features 10 of the top teams in the country which didn’t qualify for the NCAA Championship.
