Garden City, N.Y. - Eighty teams and 50 individuals have been selected to participate in the 2008 NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championships super regionals. The Panthers are the top seed in the Northeast Regional, which is being held in New Castle, Delaware at St. Anne's Golf Club by Wilmington University.

The super regionals will be conducted May 5-7. The last time that the Panthers earned a team berth to the NCAA Super Regional was in 2004. Conference automatic qualifiers are indicated in brackets next to the institution's name. The five super regional tournaments encompass the current ten regions.
