The two-day, three-round event will begin with 36 holes on Monday, Oct. 5, and conclude on Tuesday at the par-71, 6,811-yard Lakewood Country Club in Westlake, Ohio. Both days are set to tee off at 9:00 a.m.
The field will include the host Vikings, Bowling Green, Dayton, Green Bay, IU Indy, Malone, Marshall, Northern Kentucky, Oakland, Purdue Fort Wayne, and Youngstown State.
Detroit Mercy has played in the tournament 12 times in the last 13 seasons, albeit it has been held at a few different courses in the Lakewood Country Club, Canterbury Golf Club, Pine Hills Golf Club, and Barrington Country Club.
