BUIES CREEK, N.C. – For the fourth-straight year, coach John Crooks will lead Campbell University's women's golf team into post-season play on Thursday when the Lady Camels compete in the NCAA West Regional.

Hosted by Brigham Young University, the West Regional championship will be held Thursday-Saturday at Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club in St. George, Utah. The par-71, 6234-yard Johnny Miller Signature layout is surrounded by red rock sandstone cliffs and ancient lava fields and features narrow fairways.

Campbell will be paired with Nebraska and Washington State for the first two rounds of the 54-hole event. CU will start from the 10th tee at 12:30 p.m. (Mountain Daylight Time) on Thursday, and from the 1st tee at 8:00 a.m. on Friday. Saturday's final round tee times and pairings will be determined by 36-hole scores. Live scoring will be available on-line at www.golfstat.com.

The string of four-straight post-season berths is the second-longest in the 18-year history of Lady Camel golf. CU advanced to six-straight NCAA regional events from 1997-2002.

This week, Campbell senior Alejandra Shaw will become just the second Campbell golfer to play in four-straight regional championships after competing in the 2004 East Regional at Howey-In-The-Hills, Fla., the 2005 East Regional at Gainesville, Fla., and the 2006 East Regional at Browns Summit, N.C.

The two-time Atlantic Sun Conference player of the year and league tournament champion, Shaw will join Laura Torrisi (1998-2001) as the only players in school history to compete in four career regional events.

After securing the Atlantic Sun Conference automatic berth with a victory last month in the league championship at home on Keith Hills Country Club No. 1, Campbell will make its 10th regional appearance in the last 11 years this week. CU has advanced to regional play either in team or individual competition 13 times in the last 15 years.

Campbell's victory in the Shoot-out at the Legends last October kept a remarkable string of success in order. Since Coach John Crooks took over the program in 1991-92, Campbell has won at least one tournament every year (56 total) in 16 seasons. CU won a school-record eight tournaments in 1997-98 and six events in both 1996-97 and 1998-99.

CU enters the NCAA West Regional with five tournament titles in 2006-07 -- the Shootout at the Legends (Oct. 9-10), Richmond Spider Fall Invitational (Oct. 16-17), Edwin Watts Palmetto Intercollegiate (Oct. 30-31), Fighting Camel Spring Classic (Feb. 26-27) and the A-Sun Championship (Apr. 9-11).

The victory in the league championship marked Campbell's A-Sun record eighth conference title since joining the loop in 1994-95. In fact, Campbell has finished either first or second 12 times in its 13 years as an Atlantic Sun member, winning the championship three times in the past four seasons.

Now in his 16th year in charge of the Lady Camels, Crooks has led his team to 56 tournament victories, second only to Dan Brooks of Duke (100) among active Division I women's coaches. Crooks' total ranks seventh on the all-time NCAA Division I women's golf coaching wins list.

The Fighting Camels are ranked 37th in the nation in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index. Campbell is ranked number 23 nationally in the latest Golfstat scoring charts with a team stroke average of 301.76 per round. In Golfstat's NCAA head-to-head rating, CU stands 46th in the nation.

Shaw (Vina del Mar, Chile) won the 2007 A-Sun individual title in a school and conference 54-hole record four-under-par 212. Junior Maite Ortiz de Pinedo (Valladolid, Spain) tied for second, freshman Belen Diaz Cisneros (Buenos Aires, Argentina) finished fifth and frosh Mary Mattson (Ijamsville, Md.) tied for ninth.
