DAVIDSON, N.C. – Coming off its second straight Atlantic 10 Championship and third in four appearances, Davidson will compete in the 2022 NCAA Palm Beach Gardens Regional, May 16-18 at PGA National Resort.

"I am so proud of this team -- they never gave up," said head coach Tim Straub. "This team has shown great resilience all year. Our seniors Clayton Tribus and Viraj Garewal capped off great careers with a runner up finish and two Atlantic 10 titles. We are very excited for the next step, the NCAA Regional."
Davidson's starting lineup will feature all-conference performers Viraj Garewal and Clayton Tribus, Conference Player of the Year Alex Heffner, Rookie of the Year Will Davis and Ethan Hall.
