It’ll be the Northwestern Wildcats advancing to the national championship match Wednesday, where they’ll take on Stanford. Dianna Lee beats Kiara Romero 2 up to get the final point for Northwestern.

It’s the second time Northwestern has made the championship match, falling against Arizona State in 2017.

One match left on the course. Dianna Lee is 2 up against Oregon’s Kiara Romero, and the winner will send their tam to the title match

After Lottie Woad lipped out a birdie putt, Megha Ganne responded and buried a birdie putt to send the defending national champions back to the title match Wednesday. Ganne had seven birdies in 20 holes to top the world’s No. 1 amateur.

Not to forget the second semifinal, Northwestern and Oregon have each got a point on the board. Tong An got the point for Oregon, and Ashley Yun added a tally for Northwestern.

For Florida State, both Lottie Woad and Mirabel Ting are in extra holes. If either player loses, Stanford advances to the championship match. Woad is facing Megha Ganne and Ting taking on Andrea Revuelta.

Stanford junior Megha Ganne takes a 1-up lead on Lottie Woad. If she wins another hole, Stanford will be back into the championship match.

In the second match of the day, each team leads two matches and the fifth is tied. The final group is on the ninth hole, meaning it’s time for some separation for the teams trying to get into the championship match.

The first point is on the board in the afternoon. Stanford sophomore Paula Martin Sampedro gets a 5-and-3 win for the Cardinal, which lead in one match but trail in three others to Florida State.

Shortly after, Kelly Xu picked up a 5-and-4 triumph to give Stanford two points, needing one more to advance to the NCAA Championship.

One of the best shots of the day comes on the difficult par-3 eighth, courtesy of Stanford freshman Andrea Revuelta. She hits one tight, but Florida State’s Mirabel Ting responds and buries her 10-foot birdie putt to halve the hole.

Four matches are tied, with Stanford leading the fifth, in the first matchup on the course. In Northwestern-Oregon, the final pairing just teed off, but both teams lead one match and are tied in two others.

TV coverage begins in roughly 5 minutes.

We’re off in the semifinals. Mirabel Ting and Sophia Fulbrook have taken early 1-up leads, but Stanford also trailed early in multiple matches and still won. Meanwhile, Stanford leads in only one match, where Megha Ganne is 1 up against Lottie Woad.

The other two matches are tied.
