The No. 1-ranked University of Alabama women's golf team was awarded the top seed at the 2016 NCAA Shoal Creek Regional, which the school is hosting at Shoal Creek Golf and Country Club near Birmingham.

The NCAA announced its selections for the team and individual fields at its four regional sites on Monday. Three of the four regionals each have fields of 18 teams and six individuals. The Stanford Regional has 19 teams.

Duke is the top seed in the Baton Rouge Regional. That field includes, from the Southeastern Conference, two-seed Florida, six-seed South Carolina and 12-seed and host, LSU. UCLA is the No. 1 seed in the Bryan (Texas) Regional where Georgia is seeded second and Texas A&M sixth. And, in the Stanford Regional, Southern Cal is the No. 1 seed. Arkansas is seeded second.

The NCAA Shoal Creek Regional will be held May 5-7 on the club's par-72, 6,470-yard layout. The field includes the Crimson Tide, Florida State, Tennessee, Missouri, Purdue, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Clemson, Michigan, Middle Tennessee State, New Mexico State, Eastern Kentucky, Oakland (Mich.) and Alabama State. Tennessee is coached by University of Alabama women's golf All-American Judi Schneider Pavon.

The six individuals selected for the Shoal Creek Regional are Yupaporn Kawinpakorn (Kansas), Fatima Cano (Troy), Emily McLennan (Chattanooga), Sathika Ruenreong (Toledo), Laura Fuenfstueck (College of Charleston) and Pornvipa Sakdee (Kansas).

Six teams and three individuals from each regional advance to the NCAA Championships which are May 20-25 in Eugene, Ore.

Alabama is making its 11th-consecutive postseason trip, 10 of those under coach Mic Potter. It is Alabama's 18th all-time postseason appearance. Potter's Crimson Tide won the 2012 NCAA team championship.

"We weren't surprised where we wound up since we already knew we were hosting," Potter said of the making the 2016 field. "It's a balanced field and the course is in fantastic condition. The greens are fast and firm, and I think it's a course that's going to separate the field the way it should. I think the best teams are going to advance and the best players are going to excel."

Alabama finished 14th at the 2015 NCAA team championships and produced the NCAA individual champion in medalist Emma Talley. Alabama has placed among the top 15 at nationals the last six consecutive seasons.
