Title: Alabama advances to NCAA championship semifinals after downing Kent State Post by: pmull on June 01, 2012, 05:13:37 PM Alabama moved one step closer to the notching the program's fourth national championship of the 2011-12 academic year, as it defeated Kent State in today's NCAA championship match play quarterfinals at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Freshman Justin Thomas, sophomore Cory Whitsett and junior Scott Strohmeyer all won their respective matches to clinch that the Crimson Tide would take at least three of five from Kent State, which qualified for the eight-team tournament by beating Florida State in a playoff this morning. Alabama, the top seed after winning the three-day stroke play portion of the championships, will be back on the course tomorrow and will face the winner of today's match between No. 4 California and No. 5 San Diego State. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/06/alabama_advances_to_ncaa_champ.html (http://media.al.com/sports_impact/photo/11115140-large.jpg) |
