CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Megha Ganne won her last three holes and top-seeded Stanford held on to beat Southern California on Tuesday, advancing to the title match against UCLA in an all-Pac-12 final for the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship.
UCLA got big performances from Carolina Canales, Meghan Royal and Natalie Vo, who each won matches in the quarterfinals and semifinals on a long, tough day at La Costa.
Stanford will be going for its second NCAA title in the last three years, and the third time since the NCAA switched to match play for the team title in 2015.
Sadie Englemann needed 19 holes to beat former Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion Anna Davis as the Cardinal beat Auburn in the quarterfinals Tuesday morning. She then built a 5-up lead at the turn for a 7-and-5 win over Cindy Kou in the semifinals as Stanford atoned for losing to USC in the semifinals last year.
