LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL (Apr. 23, 2026) \u2013The final round of the 2026 MAAC Women\u2019s Golf Championship delivered a competitive finish at Disney\u2019s Magnolia Course, as Quinnipiac University held on to claim the team title with a three-day total of 885 (+21).<\/p>\n

Despite carding a 12-over team score in the final round, Quinnipiac\u2019s consistency across all three rounds (299-286-300) proved to be the difference, securing the program\u2019s back-to-back championship victory. Fairfield University finished runner-up at 888 (+24), closing with a strong 7-over round, while UAlbany surged on the final day with the lowest team score of the round (284, -4) to secure third place at +28 overall.<\/p>\n

Reigning McLeod Trophy winner Sophia Fujita led Quinnipiac to victory, capturing medalist honors with a three-round total of 212 (-4). Fujita closed with a 2-under 70 in the final round. Fairfield\u2019s Grace Windfelder delivered a strong and steady performance, finishing second at 213 (-3), while UAlbany\u2019s Mia Cepeda placed fourth at +1 after carding a 2-under round on the final day. UAlbany also saw a strong showing from Thantita Aungsuseewong, who finished fifth overall at +4, highlighting the team\u2019s late push up the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

The final round featured some of the lowest scores of the tournament, led by multiple players shooting under par. Fujita, Windfelder, and Cepeda each carded rounds of 70 (-2), while UAlbany\u2019s lineup fueled the team\u2019s surge with consistent scoring throughout the day. Merrimack\u2019s June Doerr also stood out with a 1-under 71, helping her team maintain a top-five finish.
