The regional qualifiers for DII men's golf have been announced. The qualifying procedures for nationals, coming out of regional competition is a little complicated. 80 teams and 32 individuals have qualified for regional competition, which will be conducted at 4 separate regional sets. It is automatic that the top three teams and top two individuals not from a qualifying team (regardless of region) will qualify for national competition. The remaining 8 team berths will be allocated based on the regions represented in the prior year's head-to-head medal play portion of the championships, with the maximum number of teams from a from a given region capped at 7.

Each region will have two separate sub-regions that will play head-to-head in each of the four regionals. The pairings are as follows: Atlantic & East; Central & Midwest; South & Southeast; South Central & West. The top seed in each region is as follows: Charleston (Atlantic); Southern New Hampshire (East); Arkansas Tech (Central); Grand Valley State (Midwest); West Florida (South); South Carolina-Aiken (Southeast); Colorado-Colorado Springs (South Central); Chico State (West).

Last year's champion, Florida Southern, is the #2 seed in the South Region.

Two teams from Ohio qualified for regionals. Tiffin qualified in the Midwest region as the #9 seed. Findlay qualified in the Midwest region as the #10 seed.

The championship will be played at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at the Shoals, Fighting Joe Course in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, May 21-25, and hosted by the University of North Alabama.

For the 5th time in program history, Springfield has claimed the D3 national title in men's volleyball. There have only been seven titles in the history of D3 men's volleyball, since it became an official championship sport, and Springfield has won all but two of them. This was not only their fifth, but their second title in a row after sweeping Stevens 3-0 in the title match on Saturday night. The only two years that Springfield did not win the title, they finished runner-up both years. Springfield dominated competition in 3 sweeps in their NCAA tournament including:

vs. Lancaster Bible - W 3-0
vs. Vassar - W 3-0
vs. Stevens - W 3-0
