CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Adding multiple team and individual titles last week, Atlantic Coast Conference women’s golf returns as teams look to close March on a high note this upcoming weekend.
Five ACC teams added team titles last week, while four different ACC players earned medalist honors. The week was headlined by NC State’s Marie Madsen’s third individual title of the 2025-26 season, winning the City of Oaks Collegiate as the only player to finish under-par (214, -2). Madsen won the tournament by six strokes, as her second-round 68 was the lone score in the 60s in the tournament.
Stanford registered its league-leading fourth team title last weekend, winning the Charles Schwab Collegiate Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas. In a field that featured 11 ranked teams, the Cardinal held on for the victory, beating No. 7 Oregon by three strokes. It marked the second straight year Stanford has won the event.
