SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The women’s individual national champion has been crowned, which means one thing: it’s time for match play.
Stanford, the defending national champion, earned the top seed and will face No. 8 Pepperdine. The Waves are making their first appearance at NCAA match play. In addition, there will be a Lone Star Showdown between Texas (No. 2 seed) and Texas A&M (No. 7 seed) in the first round. Other matches include No. 3 Wake Forest against No. 6 Florida State and No. 4 South Carolina against No. 5 USC.
A reminder: last year was the first time in the match play era the No. 1 seed (Stanford) went on to win.
