Kansas State women's golf ends eight-year postseason drought with NCAA Regional bid
MANHATTAN — The Kansas State women's golf team spent a year stewing over its 2024 postseason snub, but it also served as motivation for the Wildcats. On Wednesday, the Wildcats' perseverance paid off when they were selected as the No. 5 seed in the 2025 NCAA Lexington Regional. It will be their first team postseason appearance since 2017. Advertisement "It just means so much to me," second-year K-State coach Stew Burke said. "They worked so hard. They wanted it." The Wildcats are now headed to Keene Trace Golf Club in Lexington, Kentucky, May 5-7 as part of a 12-team field. The top five regional teams advance to the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship May 16-21 in Carlsbad, California. The regional competition will be stiff with No. 1 seed and ACC champion Florida State, No. 2 USC, No. 3 TCU and No. 4 Vanderbilt. But K-State goes into the regional with some momentum.
