Compelling action in fight to make women's Elite 8

BRADENTON, Fla. – A ricochet off a tree. A layup into a divot. A flubbed wedge into the bunker. A bladed pitch over the green.  

All of those scenarios could have ended Washington’s season Monday at the NCAA Women’s Championship. 

“But I wasn’t thinking aboutthat,” Huskies junior Charlotte Thomas said with a smile. “Come on. Have a little faith!”

With Washington clinging to the eighth and final spot during the last round of stroke-play qualifying, Thomas drove into the right pine straw and had a decision to make: Play the hero shot, or play the percentages.
