Dianna Lee got Northwestern into the final by defeating Oregon's Kiara Romero, the #3 player in the world. Clearly she can play (and beat) the best. Of course her challenge tomorrow is to knock off the #4 amateur in the world, Andrea Revuelta.

And Northwestern got to the finals by defeating the #2 team in the country Arkansas, then the #5 team in the country Oregon. Northwestern is legit. I don't see any matches in which I think Stanford has a clear advantage. I don't understand Lauren Nguyen's WAGR ranking. She was 1st team all conference and an All American last year. Those 1st two matches will be barn burners.

By the way, I would like to note the Northwestern connection on the Stanford coaching staff. Assistant coach Brooke Riley is a 2021 Northwestern alum.

wow that was a close match!
Our 3 NCAA-experienced players really stepped up (the frosh played well but Ortengren ultimately lost, and I think Revuelta was about to lose to a par and birdie machine--Ting had zero bogeys in the 19 holes)
Much as I enjoyed that hard-won victory, I'd prefer tomorrow's match to be less anxiety-provoking for us.

Revuelta made some clutch putts near the end to last as long as she did.

Revuelta made some saves that evoked the memory of her countryman Seve Ballesteros who was one of the all-time best scramblers. I was a bit surprised that none of the announcers made that reference.
