The Course:
For more than three decades, The River Course has hosted the world's best players on both PGA and LPGA tours. Bordered by the calm azure waters of the James River, this famed championship course has tested the mettle of the game's most famous names. On a still morning, dew still beading on the precisely manicured greens, you can almost hear the echoes of applause for crisply struck irons and delicately holed putts. The River Course inspires you to test your own mettle. The course has been reborn thanks to the efforts of original architect Pete Dye. The renowned course designer tinkered just enough with his layout, bringing out the subtle details that make for a truly unforgettable round of golf.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host William & Mary, the robust field featured 22 other teams including: Air Force, Appalachian State, Binghamton, Delaware, Drexel, Eastern Michigan, Fairleigh Dickinson, Fort Wayne, George Washington, Iona, Longwood, Loyola, Old Dominion, Radford, Southern Illinois, St. Bonaventure, St. Francis (Pa.), St. Joseph's, Towson, Utah Valley, Xavier, and Youngstown State.
