To throw #5 against #1 is a curious tactic for a #1 team.  At least I assume that U$€ elected to match Lee against Stackhouse since I can't imagine Stanford wanted Stackhouse to face a #5.

How do the pairings get decided? Anyone know?

The following is from the NCAA women's golf participant manual:

The  Division  I  Women's  Golf  Committee  will  determine  match  play lineups using the same method employed at the President's Cup matches.  The higher seeded team (as determined through the 72-hole stroke-play portion), "Team 1", will have the first choice of putting a player on the board for Match #1. The opposing team, "Team 2", will then name its player for Match #1. Team 2 will then name its player for Match #2, and Team 1 will name its player for Match #2.  The process will continue in an "S" curve until the players for all five matches are named.  However, Team 1 may defer in the selection process and permit Team 2 to begin the overall selection process.

Purely from the order that the pairings are listed, I would assume that S.-C. put up Chung(3) and Stanford matched with Eijkenboom(5) and that Stanford then put up Stackhouse(1) that S.-C. matched with Lee(5).
