WORCESTER, Mass. --- The Assumption College men's golf team has received, as expected, its second N.C.A.A. Division II super regional tournament berth.

The Greyhounds are one of 80 teams and 50 individuals who were selected to participate in the 2007 NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championships super regionals.

The Northeast region Super Regional includes five Northeast-10 Conference representatives, Pace, Bryant, LeMoyne, Bentley and Assumption along with St. Thomas Aquinas (Sparkhill, NY), Post (Waterbury, CT), Goldey-Beacom (Wilmington, DE).

The Northeast Super Regional will be hosted by West Liberty State College at the Speidel Golf Club in Wheeling, West Virginia on May 7-8-9.

The five super regional tournaments encompass the current 10 regions. The top team from each region within the super regional and the top individual not with a team from each super regional (regardless of region) will advance to the national final scheduled for May 22-25 at The Meadows in Allendale, Michigan, hosted by Grand Valley State University.

Ten additional teams will earn berths to the finals. These teams will be determined based on the previous three-year average of top-10 finishes of a super regional at the finals.

Younker (78.8), Johnson (79.0) and Farrea (79.8).

Johnson, who enjoyed a superb fall season, carded two rounds of 70 (second lowest in Hounds golf history) and turned in a two-round record 70 72--142 in the E.C.A.C. tournament to earn all-East honors with a second-place finish. Younker's 77-41--109 (rain-shortened event) earned him a third-place finish and first-team all-conference honors.

Also in the mix are senior PATRICK HUBLEY (Auburn, MA/Millbury) and freshmen DAVID TURNBLOM (Shrewsbury, MA/St. John's) and TYLER CLEARY (Newington, CT/Newington).
