ROMEOVILLE, Ill. - Lewis University senior Amy Sachs (Willowbrook, Ill./Hinsdale South) has earned an invite to compete as an individual at the 2009 NCAA Division II Women's Golf Championship Super Regional One Championship to be held May 3-5 at the Cedarbrook Golf Course in Belle Vernon, Pa. The event is hosted by California University of Pennsylvania.

Sachs represents one of four individual golfers selected for the tournament. The top three teams along with the top three individuals not with a team from each of the four super regional sites will advance to the championships.
