There's also potential good news as defending national champions, Wake Forest, are knocked out before match play even begins as they fail to qualify finishing 9th.

I didn't read all the way through earlier, and I see someone else commented on this good omen.

Yeah, but Wake got beat by 8 other teams, any of which has the potential to win it all. Every team is dangerous so I don't take it as a positive that Wake won't be there.

Stanford has really stumbled today, mainly due to struggles from Heck, Xu and Englemann. The team played well on Saturday and Sunday when they teed off early in the day, the greens may have been a little softer and the wind was down. Today they played in the afternoon under tougher conditions and it did not go well. They need to have short memories to reset before tomorrow morning.

Looks like Stanford vs. Auburn in the quarters tomorrow morning. A rematch of the semifinals in 2022 which Stanford won 3-2. The two losses in that match were Heck and Englemann.

Now we wait to see how Coach Walker sets the matchups. Where does she place Englemann, the most experienced Stanford player, but one whose game has really been off over the last 2 months? She has a record of 1-4 in NCAA match play over her career. Where does she place Martin Sampedro, a frosh with no NCAA match play experience, but clearly the best player on the team right now? Leadoff? Anchor? The match a lot of people (including me) would love to see is Martin Sampedro vs. Anna Davis, Auburn's star frosh.
