INDIANAPOLIS – With the 2023 NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championships field announcement on Friday, the 22nd ranked University of Missouri-St. Louis men's golf team is set to make the program's 17th postseason trip, including its 10th straight and its 11th in the last 12 years.

Under the direction of 15th-year head coach Troy Halterman, the Tritons will be one of 20 teams competing in the Midwest/Central Regional May 11-13 in Winona, Minn., at the Bridges Golf Course.

The NCAA DII men's golf championships will consist of both team and individual competition conducted concurrently. There are four regional sites across the country with two regions at each site. 20 teams and eight individuals not with a team will compete in their respective 54-hole tournament.

At a minimum, the top three teams and the top two student-athletes not with a team from each regional will advance to the finals, May 22-26 at Avalon Lakes in Warren, Ohio. The remaining eight team berths will be allocated based on the regions represented in the prior year's head-to-head medal play portion of the championships, with the maximum number of teams from a given region capped at seven. The finals will be hosted by the Mountain East Conference and Avalon Lakes at The Grand Resort.
