INDIANAPOLIS - Texas A&M University-Commerce junior Wilfredo Sanchez has qualified for the NCAA Division II Men's Golf South Central/West Regional, as announced by the NCAA offices Friday.

Sanchez will play in the regional tournament at Brookside Country Club in Stockton, Calif., on May 8-10. Competing as an individual, Sanchez needs to finish as one of the top two individuals not on a qualifying team to advance to the NCAA Division II National Championship on May 22-26 at the Reunion Resort in Kissimmee, Fla.

Sanchez was named the Lone Star Conference Newcomer of the Year in his first season with the Lions. He had five top five finishes this year in 11 tournaments. He earned all-tournament honors as he helped lead the Lions to their first LSC Championship in 19 years and second in 53 years.

He was runner-up at the Newman Fall Invitational, finished third in The Classic at The Tribute and the DBU Patriot Classic, and finished fourth at the St. Mary's Invitational.

He had a scoring average of 74.10, which ranks fifth in school history. In 30 rounds played this season, he had 10 at par or better.

Sanchez is the first Lion to participate in the NCAA postseason since Hagan Wood also qualified as an individual in 2015.
