The Atlantic 10 Champion will receive the League's automatic berth to the NCAA Men's Golf Regionals. The NCAA Regionals will be held May 15-17 at sites in Murfreesboro, Tenn., West Lafayette, Ind., Stanford, Cal., Austin, Texas, Baton Rouge, Lou., and Auburn, Wash.
The Spiders will be playing Friday alongside competitors from La Salle and George Mason. Richmond tee times are as follows:
