Big Rapids, Mich. - For the 14th consecutive year, the Ferris State University men's golf team has received an official NCAA Tournamet bid and will take part in the 2016 Midwest/Central Super Regional, which will take place May 2-4 at The Meadows Golf Course in Allendale, Mich.

The announcement of 80 teams and 32 individual student-athletes for regional competition was released Friday (April 22) by the NCAA-II Men's Golf Selection Committee.

The Midwest/Central Regional will be hosted by Grand Valley State University and will consist of 10 teams from the Midwest Region along with 10 from the Central Region.  Four individuals from each region will also compete in the 54-hole tournament.

The top five teams and the top two individuals not affiliated with a team from each regional (regardless of region) will advance to the 2016 NCAA-II Men's Golf Championships slated for May 17-21 at Green Valley Ranch in Denver, Colo. The finals will be hosted by Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Along with number seven seed Ferris State, those teams from the Midwest Region who will be making the super regional tourney appearance are top-seeded Missouri-St. Louis, Indianapolis, Tiffin, Grand Valley State, Northwood, Northern Michigan, FSU, Lewis, Bellarmine (Ky.) and Trevecca Nazarene in respective seeding order.

Central Missouri is the Central Region's top seed and followed by Central Oklahoma, Southwestern Oklahoma State, Winona State, Arkansas Tech, Southeastern Oklahoma State, Henderson State, Lindenwood, Washburn and Minnesota State.

Ferris State, under the direction of head coach Mike Mignano, posted a third-place performance at the 2010 NCAA-II Midwest/South Central Super Regional (May 3-5) in Duncan, Okla.  The placing was high enough for the Bulldogs to make their 14th appearance at nationals in the program's history as FSU would register a school-best effort by tying for seventh place in the 2010 NCAA-II National Championships (May 18-21) in Noblesville, Ind.

A year ago (2015), FSU finished 16th in the super regional competition and failed to advance to the national championships in action at Lemont, Ill.

Ferris State's current 14-year NCAA Championship appearance streak in men's golf ranks as one of the longest active stretches in the country.
