The Valparaiso University men’s golf team will be well represented in the NCAA Tournament as two members of the program will compete in NCAA Regionals.

Sophomore Anthony Delisanti (Sanborn, N.Y. / Niagara Wheatfield) earned an automatic NCAA Regional berth by taking medalist honors at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship, while senior Caleb VanArragon (Blaine, Minn. / Blaine) received an at-large NCAA Regional bid, as announced on the NCAA Selection Show that aired on The Golf Channel on Wednesday afternoon.

Both Delisanti and VanArragon have been assigned to the Bath Regional, which will be hosted by Michigan State at Eagle Eye Golf Club from May 15-17 in Bath Township, Mich.

Both All-MVC honoree, VanArragon (70.85) and Delisanti (71.03) own the top two scoring averages in the conference. The recipient of the MVC Elite 17 Award for the third consecutive season, VanArragon will make his first NCAA Regional appearance, while Delisanti will appear for the second straight year.  

Delisanti, the MVC Player of the Year, shattered a modern program record and an MVC Championship record that had stood since 1950 with his 54-hole score of 200 (-13) at the MVC Championship last week. That helped him win medalist honors at the event for the second straight season.
