Yeah, matching up vs. Oregon or UCLA looks better for Stanford on paper than Auburn. Auburn is a tough team with both a US Amateur and an Augusta National Women's Amateur champ. Beat them and Stanford could face a rematch vs. USC from last year's semis. I would welcome another shot at the Trojans.
And Hulk, Coach Walker did not match Englemann vs. Auburn's #5 player. She put out Englemann in the 1st slot and the Auburn coach countered with her #1 player, Anna Davis. Yes, Englemann needs to find the form she had the last 2 rounds at P12s when she shot 69-69.
