"We're very excited to compete in the SBC Championship and take aim at The Hills Course at LPGA International," Marshall women's golf coach Brooke Burkhammer said. "Our conference is strong so it will be a great competition, and we look forward to seeing our team rise to the challenge this week."
All 13 Sun Belt teams will take part in the three-day event, which features 18 holes each day at the par-72, 6,200-yard course.
