Arizona State women’s golf won its national record eighth NCAA championship on Wednesday, defeating Northwestern in the match play final.
ASU rallied from 2-1 down to beat Stanford 3-2 in completion of a semifinal at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill., then came back in the afternoon to win its first NCAA title since 2009.
The NCAA championship is the first for ASU in any sport since softball won the 2011 College World Series and 24th overall. It is the 499th overall and 18th in women’s golf for the Pac-12.
