CALIFORNIA (May 6) – The California (PA) men's golf team will compete at the 2026 NCAA Atlantic/East Regional Championships hosted by Pitt-Johnstown from May 7-9 at Sunnehanna Country Club.

At a minimum, the top-three teams and the top-two golfers not with a team from each regional will advance to the NCAA National Championships scheduled for May 18-22 at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder, Nevada, located approximately 25 miles southeast of Las Vegas.

The Vulcans were one of 10 teams from the Atlantic Region to receive an at-large berth to the championship event. Cal has qualified for the event as a team 15 times since 2009, plus featured an individual qualifier twice during that span.

Gannon enters the weekend as the top seed after tying Davis & Elkins for first place in the team standings at last year's regional championships. The field includes 20 team qualifiers with the remaining seven coming from the East Region. Five automatic-qualifiers were awarded to conference champions, along with eight additional individual qualifiers. Notably, the Senators did not receive a team bid but are represented by an individual this spring.

The Vulcans previously competed at Sunnehanna Country Club during the fall and tied for sixth in a field of 16 teams.

The lineup for the regional championships includes junior Chaz Ekoniak, junior Gavin Goodrich, junior Jacob Pedley and sophomore Nixen Erdely with junior Anthony DePietress serving as the alternate.

The Vulcans begin play tomorrow, Thursday, May 7, with tee times starting at 7:30 a.m. Cal is in the final grouping off the first tee and will begin its round at 12:40 p.m.
