The 13-team field will compete at the par-72, 6,635-yard Golden Eagle Country Club March 5-7.

Virginia’s lineup will include senior Brad Tilley, freshman Conrad Von Borsig, junior Andrea Signor, junior Eamonn McLoughlin and freshman Daniel Kefale.

Last fall Tilley posted UVa’s best stroke average at 72.73 during five tournament appearances. He led the team in 2005 with a 72.71 average that saw him earn All-ACC honors.

Kefale was right behind Tilley at 73.33 while playing in just two outings. Signor was third on the team at 73.56 and Von Borsig had a solid freshman campaign, playing in four events and sporting a 74.25 stroke average. McLoughlin posted a 75.22 average in three tournament appearances.
