Big Rapids, Mich. - Sophomore Destiny Lawson (Ocala, Fla.) of the Ferris State University women's golf team has been chosen to compete in the 2017 NCAA Division II East Super Regional Championships, which will take place May 8-10 in Canton, Ohio.

Lawson was among six individuals from across the region chosen to compete in the regional championships along with 12 teams at the Glenmoor Country Club. The tournament will be hosted by Walsh University. The announcement was made by the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Committee.

Each super regional will consist of both team and individual competition conducted concurrently with 12 teams and 6 individuals from non-qualifying teams at each site. All participants will compete through the 54 holes of competition.

The top three teams along with the top three individuals not with a team from each super regional will advance to the national championships, which take place May 17-20 at the Findlay Country Club in Findlay, Ohio. 

An All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Second Team choice this season, Lawson is the only individual golfer outside of a team from a GLIAC member institution chosen to compete in the NCAA Championships. She'll be the first Bulldog female to compete in the NCAA Super Regional since FSU qualified as a team in 2014.

Most recently, Lawson paced the Bulldogs as she finished ninth overall in the individual field at the 2017 GLIAC Championships held April 21-23 in Nashport, Ohio. She carded a 238 score for the 54-hole tournament. After shooting a 74 in round one on Friday and an 83 in the second round on Saturday, she closed the weekend with an 81 in the field round.

This season, Lawson placed among the top 15 golfers in seven of her eight outings during the year. She posted five top 10 finishes, including a season-best fifth place performance in the season-opening Northern Michigan Invitational. She ranked among the squad's leaders in nearly every event she competed in this campaign.

This season, the Bulldog women's golf squad posted six top-eight tournament finishes, including a share of third place at the Kohler Classic to wrap up the fall season in Wisconsin. FSU finished ninth overall at the conference championships.
