KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The NAIA has officially released the first and second round pairings for the 2015 Women's Golf National Championships. The 21st annual event will take place at Savannah Quarters Country Club in Pooler, Ga. on May 12-15.

Campbellsville's Cassidy Scantland, who is making her second-straight appearance, will be playing alongside Heather Nail of Mobile (Ala.) and Kamie Rash of Kansas Wesleyan. Their tee time is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, May 12 on hole No. 10.


The trio will stay paired together for the second round as well, teeing off at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday, May 13 on hole No. 1. The third and fourth rounds will be paired depending on scores, with a cut after 54 holes - reduced to the top 17 teams and 40 individuals (including ties).

Northwood (Fla.), Wayland Baptist (Texas) and Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) are the very first groups starting the NAIA championship and teeing off at 7:30 a.m. ET on hole No. 1.

Last season the NAIA Championship was located at Wilderness Ridge Golf Club in Lincoln, Neb. Scantland, the a freshman, came storming out of the gates with an opening round one-over, 73, sitting her in sixth place. After round two, Scantland was tied for 10th but the third and fourth rounds weren't as kind, as she fell off the pace to finish in a tie for 34th.

Scantland will be joined by coaches Kim Goodin and Lauren Willis on the trip at the national championship. Unofficial practice rounds are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 9-10. The official practice round is scheduled for Monday, May 11 with the Champions Banquet that same evening at 7 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Ballroom.

The 144-player field consists of 19 automatic qualifying teams, which won their respective conference, Association of Independent Institutions or unaffiliated grouping tournament titles, eight at-large selections, and 10 individual qualifiers. At-large teams were determined using the final regular season Coaches' Top 25 Poll released yesterday.

Two-time defending national champion Oklahoma City headlines a field that includes eight teams that finished among the top 10 at last year's national championships. The Stars needed a one-hole playoff to become the first team to win back-to-back titles since 2009. Last year's team championship was the seventh all-time for Oklahoma City in the 20-year history of the event.
