Isabella Fierro let out a yell and started running to Rina Tatematsu; the Cowgirls are headed to the NCAA Finals.
The Oklahoma State women’s golf team beat Duke, the defending national champs, 5-0-0 in the semifinals of the NCAA Championship on Tuesday evening at Grayhawk Golf Club in Arizona to advance to Wednesday’s finals.
Tatematsu, a freshman, clinched the Cowgirls’ semifinal win with a par putt on 16 to win 3&2 over Duke’s Phoebe Brinker. Fierro, who had already beat Erica Shepherd 2&1, took off to hug Tatematsu in celebration.
“As soon as she made the putt, I literally couldn’t hold myself,” Fierro said.
