CARLSBAD, Calif. (theACC.com) \u2013 Top-seeded Stanford swept second-seeded USC, 3-0, in the match play final of the 2026 NCAA Women\u2019s Golf Championship, at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California, claiming the program\u2019s fourth national championship.<\/p>\n
Stanford wins the ACC\u2019s ninth women\u2019s golf national championship, 13th among current conference membership, and the league\u2019s first since Wake Forest won the title in 2023. By advancing to Wednesday\u2019s final, Stanford also extended the streak of current ACC members appearing in the match play final to five consecutive years.<\/p>\n
Stanford also became the first team since Duke in 2014 to win both the ACC Championship and the national championship in the same season. The Cardinal are the first ACC team to accomplish that feat in the match-play era.<\/p>\n
The title is the ACC\u2019s seventh NCAA championship of the 2025-26 academic year, joining women\u2019s cross country (NC State), women\u2019s soccer (Florida State), women\u2019s swimming & diving (Virginia), men\u2019s fencing (Notre Dame), women\u2019s fencing (Notre Dame) and men\u2019s tennis (Virginia). The championship also marks the conference\u2019s 204th NCAA team championship all time.<\/p>\n
The Cardinal jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead as Meja \u00d6rtengren cruised to a 6&5 win and ACC Player of the Year Paula Mart\u00edn Sampedro, earned her third match-play victory of the tournament with a 4&2 triumph. In her final collegiate match, senior Megha Ganne clinched the national title with a 4&3 win against USC\u2019s Bailey Shoemaker. It marked the second time this week that Ganne clinched a match for the Cardinal.<\/p>\n
