winflop, you and Spiny_Norman can duke it out to see whose explanation of match pairings is actually the truth lol.  

Can't wait to see the team play it out this afternoon.  What a chance, what a culmination of a season's work for these student-athletes :)

From the 2021 tournament rules, page 13:

"The Division I Women’s Golf Committee will determine match-play lineups using the same method employed at the Presidents 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."

Not sure if this has changed for the current competition.

UPDATE: Found the manual for 2022 competition and the process for determining match play lineups is the same as above.

In any event,

Geaux Cardinal!
