Four Raider golfers will represent Seminole State College at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Women's Golf Championship, taking place May 17-20 at LPGA International in Daytona Beach.

Fabys Barreto, Jessica Wolchick, Victoria Seenath and Kristin Galek clinched a spot in the tournament after finishing in the top 10 of the NJCAA Region VIII Qualifier in April. Barreto, a sophomore from Venezuela, led the team with a two-round score of 160 and a seventh-place finish. Wolchick, a sophomore from Rockledge, and Seenath, a sophomore from Canada, tied for eighth with scores of 164. Galek, a freshman from Englewood, rounded out the top 10 with a score of 165.

The Raiders, who are ranked fifth in the nation, came in second overall with a team score of 658. Region VIII champion Daytona State College had a score of 584.

Last year, Seminole State finished third in its NJCAA national championship debut.
