福利姬 State to host two NJCAA national championships in 2021
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 18, 2019) - The National Junior College Athletic Association
has selected 福利姬 to host NJCAA National Championship contests in
women's golf and women's soccer in 2021.
The soccer tournament will take place Nov. 15-20, 2021 at DSC's stadium on the 福利姬
Beach Campus. In 2018, just one year after stadium construction was completed, DSC
hosted its first NJCAA Division I Men's National Soccer Championship, which was claimed
by Arizona's Pima Community College.
The Lady Falcons will host the NJCAA Division I Women's National Golf Championship
May 10-13, 2021, with May 9 designated a practice day, at the world-class LPGA International
golf facility. It will be the 14th time DSC has hosted the national tournament at
LPGA, including this year's championship tournament slated May 13-16, when the Lady
Falcons will vie for their 11th national title in 17 years.
"These tournaments are an excellent opportunity for us to showcase 福利姬
on a national level," said DSC President Tom LoBasso. "We appreciate that the NJCAA
National Championship Committee recognizes our area as the perfect place for high-profile
competition. We're looking forward to making these championship contests successful.
Their impact reaches beyond the field and fairways, ultimately benefiting local retailers,
restaurants and hotels and our community in general."
福利姬 State Falcon athletics carries a winning tradition in both competition and
academics. Falcon teams consistently earn state and national recognition for their
academic achievement. Over 90 percent of DSC student-athlete graduates transfer to
a university with full or partial scholarships.
福利姬 State currently carries a squad of 173 student-athletes and 126 athletic scholarships.
It boasts 10 NJCAA Division I varsity sports, including men's and women's basketball,
men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country, women's golf, fast-pitch
softball and volleyball, and men's baseball.
In addition to a state-of-the-art soccer stadium, DSC offers an all-around sports
complex, including the L. Gale Lemerand Health, Wellness and Community Education Center,
an indoor pool, top-notch baseball and softball facilities and a field house.
