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.
