FAIRFIELD, Conn. – History will be made at Bermuda Run Country Club when Maria Beltran tees off in at the NCAA Bermuda Run Regional on Monday, May 6. The 2024 McLeod Trophy winner as individual MAAC Champion, Beltran will be the first-ever representative of Fairfield University Women's Golf to compete at an NCAA regional tournament.
 
Beltran, who carded an even-par 216 at last weekend's 54-hole MAAC Championship, led the Stags to a tie for second place at the conference tournament. She is the third Fairfield women's golfer to raise the McLeod Trophy, joining Sarah Scatamacchia (1998, 2000) and Allie Schick (2003).
 
The Bermuda Run Regional is a 54-hole event set for May 6-8, hosted by Wake Forest. In addition to the top-seeded Demon Deacons, the field includes Texas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, UCF, South Florida, Tennessee, Oregon State, North Texas, Delaware, Charleston Southern, Navy and individuals representing NC State, Georgia Southern, North Florida and James Madison.
 
To advance to the NCAA Championship as an individual, Beltran would need to be the regional's lowest scoring golfer that is not a part of the top five teams, who will all advance to the championship round as a unit.
 
Director of Fairfield Golf Doug Holub is making his second consecutive trip to an NCAA Regional after accompanying 2023 men's McLeod Trophy winner Killian McGinley to the Auburn Regional last May.
