It sure looks like Walker won the draw.

There was no way she could depend on Liu for a win against anyone.  Given that, throw her against NW's clear #1 player Hannah (37th ranked nationally, almost 80 slots higher than NW's #2).  A rout only counts as one loss.

That leaves to play their #2 and Valenzuela to play their #4--and Aubert to play their #5.  We end up as big favorites in those three. 

Wang vs. Cho?  Cho has played much better in this event, but Wang on the season ranks 63rd and Cho 112th.  That's a matchup we'll take, too.

PS:
The all time leaders in NCAA final matches played are Casey Danielson and Shannon Aubert , each with eight.  I think second place might be four.
