Whether you’re in the stadium or following along at home, there are plenty of Yellow Jacket teams to root for as spring turns to summer.

Once the regional round concludes on Wednesday, the Jackets will find out if they’ve qualified for the NCAA Championship, a feat they’ve missed by just one stroke for the past two years. This will be their 22nd NCAA regional appearance in a row and their 29th in the 31 years since the regional qualifiers were established.
