SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — After being bounced in the first round of last year’s NCAA Championship as the No. 1 seed, Stanford got its revenge this year.
The top-ranked Cardinal and this year’s No. 1 seed defeated No. 2 Oregon to win the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship to become the first No. 1 seed to win the title in the match-play era.
With faculty fellow and academic advisor Condoleezza Rice watching, Stanford earned its sixth win of the season and second national title in program history following the first in 2015, when match play made its debut at the women’s championship.
