tight match (as one would expect): 3-2 Stanford at the moment
Texas is up 5 in one match and we're up 3 in another, but the last 3 matches are all 1-up (2 for us, 1 for UT) with 5-7 holes left to play

Stanford effectively "won" although matches that were even through 18 did not go extra holes which would be the case if this were the NCAA tournament.
This was an excellent introduction to the pressure of team match play for 3 Stanford freshman. Remember each of these 3 are only in their 3rd week of college!
Meja Ortengren made 5 birdies and 0 bogeys. Still she needed a clutch par on 18 to win 1 up.
Leigh Chien played 1 under par but her Texas opponent was 5 under. Chien lost 4 and 3.
Andrea Revuelta birdied 16 and 17 to take a 1 up lead to 18. But she missed a 5 foot par putt to halve her match.
Among the veterans:
Kelly Xu was 5 under to pave the way for a 4 and 3 win.
For the 2nd straight match, Paula Martin Sampedro did not lead for a single hole yet somehow pulled out a halve. She birdied 16 and 17 to come back from a 2 down deficit then parred 18 for the halve.
For some reason, Megha Ganne only played in one of the 3 rounds. Injury? Illness? Revuelta replaced her vs. New Mexico State and Texas.
The women are back in action next weekend at home in the Stanford Intercollegiate.

What am I missing? Score box shows Stanford not in first place in women, men, or combined categories.
Edit: Thanks Spiny for the explanation.

The "box score" is based on total points across all 3 matches. The Stanford women won all 3 of their matches by scores of 3.5 to 1.5, 4 to 1 and 3 to 2. Total points = 10.5.
Texas lost to Stanford 3 to 2, but won its other 2 matches 4.5 to 0.5 and 5 to 0. Total points = 11.5.
The Stanford men lost all 3 of their matches.

Interesting new tournament, the point of the overall team trophy being based on the total number of individual matches won, not the head-to-head team wins, is to make every player's score for each round count. Organized by and named after Stanford golf alum Notah Begay III. Great New Mexico scenery around the course. Yeah the women didn't win the overall team trophy, but in our one match today we beat the team that counted!

Stanford’s women were 22-under for their five matches, a stroke better than Texas.
If played as stroke play, you get this leaderboard:
Laurie Kim, Texas -17
Leigh Chien, Stanford -7
Paula Martin, Stanford -6
Meja Ortengren, Stanford -5
Kelly Xu, Stanford -4
Player’s world ranking in parenthesis, followed by current season’s average score per 18 holes.
(Scores from the Cal men’s and womens’ combined match play event are not included because I cannot find them—save for Megga Ganne’s fabulous 8-under for 15 holes.)
Megha Ganne (24) 69.7 (low -8 for 15 holes)(two rounds, 31 holes)
Paula Martin (11) 70.0 (low -5)
Meja Ortengren (22) 70.8 (low -4)
Kelly Xu (40) 71.6 (low -5)
Leigh Chien (136) 71.6 (low -3, twice)
Nora Sundberg (44) 72.0 (low -1)
Andrea Revuelta (10) 72.0 (low -4)(-4 for her last four rounds)
Perhaps interesting to compare: only eleven Stanford women have ever averaged under 72.0 for a full season.
