Stanford saw three matches go to sudden-death playoff holes before advancing to the title match with a 3-2 national semifinal win over Florida State. After securing victories with Paula Martin Sampedro (5&3) and Kelly Xu (5&4), Megha Ganne won the second playoff hole (1UP) to win the match.
鈥淚 went in with the mindset that I was so grateful to be playing Lottie (Woad),鈥 said Ganne. 鈥淚 think she is an incredible player and world No. 1 for a reason. I was honestly so excited about the matchup and I have so much respect for her. I knew a day like today with seven birdies is what it was going to take. Florida State is a great team and I was happy to be out here and glad we got the job done.鈥
The national semifinals featured three teams that have never won a women鈥檚 golf championship. Northwestern defeated Oregon 3-2 in its semifinal match. The Wildcats alternated scores with the Ducks throughout the afternoon. Ultimately, it was San Diego native, Dianna Lee of Northwestern who secured the final point for the Wildcats 1UP. Sophomore Ashley Yun (2&1) and freshman Elise Lee (2&1) also added deciding match points.
鈥淚t鈥檚 absolutely everything to me and my team,鈥 said Dianna Lee. 鈥淔rom day one this is all we have ever wanted to do. Our team has so much support and belief in each other. I knew all I had to do was focus on my match because we all had each other鈥檚 backs. Golf is an incredible sport and we spend most of our time every day with each other. Through our dedication and long days and nights of practices coming together to achieve a goal like coming to nationals and getting to the championship match is something we all have strived for from day one.鈥
Stanford improved to 15-6 all-time in match play with the two wins on Tuesday.
