NCAA regionals coming to Pullman in three different sports

In 2019 and 2020 Pullman will be playing host to a variety of NCAA regionals the national organization announced on Tuesday. Two of these will be for the first time ever in these respective sports.

On November 15^th, 2019 WSU will host the NCAA Cross Country western regional. It will be held at the Colfax Golf Club. This is the first time WSU has hosted a Cross Country regional. The university previously hosted the 2015 Men’s and Women’s Pac-12 championship in Colfax.

Also in 2019 WSU will play host to the Men’s Golf Regional at the well-regarded Palouse Ridge golf course. This is the second time Palouse Ridge has played host to a men’s regional, the first time was in 2013. It will be held May 12-15.

In 2020 WSU will host a Women’s Golf regional for the first time at Palouse Ridge. This is first time WSU has hosted a major women’s tournament. It will take place from May 11-13.

The NCAA tournament is also returning to Spokane in 2020, but WSU is no longer the host school with Idaho taking the lead instead

These three regionals are a nice feather in the cap for Bill Moos and company to bring them to the Palouse.
