INDIANAPOLIS (April 15, 2022) – Oklahoma Christian extended its run atop the NCAA Division II South Central Region ranking released on Friday, putting the Eagles in strong position for a postseason berth.

OC now has topped all three sets of the region ranking issued this season and now has spent more than two years atop that important marker. The Eagles were atop the South Central Region ranking in spring 2020, when the season ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and topped each regional ranking last spring.

Next Friday, the NCAA will announce the nine teams from the South Central that will play in the South Central-West Super Regional tournament, which is scheduled for May 5-7 at Pueblo Country Club in Pueblo, Colo. OC recorded one of its four wins this season, in the South Central-West Region Preview, on that course during the fall.

The Eagles could earn an automatic berth into the Super Regional by winning the Lone Star Conference Championship tournament, to be played Monday through Wednesday at Squaw Valley Golf Club's Apache Links in Glen Rose, Texas. OC is the defending LSC champion.

OC has a 95-8-1 record this season against Division II competition, including a 41-3 mark against teams from the South Central and 6-0 against teams from the West. The Eagles are 16-5-1 against teams in the current Golfstat.com power rankings (a separate metric from the NCAA ranking) and is one of only two LSC teams in the Golfstat rankings, along with Midwestern State (Texas).

Not coincidentally, Midwestern State was No. 2 in the NCAA region ranking on Friday, followed by Colorado State-Pueblo of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, Cameron of the LSC, Texas A&M-Commerce of the LSC, St. Mary's (Texas) of the LSC, Colorado Christian of the RMAC, Colorado Mesa of the RMAC, West Texas A&M of the LSC, Fort Lewis (Colo.) of the RMAC and Colorado-Colorado Springs of the RMAC. West Texas A&M sat just above the cutoff line for potential regional-tournament qualification.
