Junior All-American Mirabel Ting shot a 4 under par 68 and finished in a school record tying second place in the individual standings, and Florida State finished in a program best-fourth place in the team standings as stroke play in the NCAA Division I Championship came to a close at the Omni La Costa Resort. The Seminoles advanced to match play for the third time in the last four years and will face fifth place Southern California in the quarterfinals of match play on Tuesday beginning at 9:50 a.m. (ET) off of hole No. 10.
No. 1 ranked Stanford won the stroke play championship and earned the No. 1 seed in the match play portion of the championship. Maria Jose Marin of Arkansas won the individual championship with scores of 70-72-65-69 for a four-round total of 12 under par 276. She defeated Florida State’s Ting by two strokes to win the individual national title.
The No. 4 seeded Seminoles and the No 5 seeded Lady Trojans are joined by No. 1 seeded Stanford against No. 8 seeded Virginia, No. 2 seeded Oregon against No. 7 seeded Texas, and No. 3 seeded Northwestern and No. 6 seeded Arkansas in the quarterfinals of match play.
The quarterfinals and semifinals of match play will be played on Tuesday with the championship match scheduled for Wednesday.
Ting finished in second place in the individual standings with scores of 70-71-69-68 for a four-round total of 10 under par 278. Her score of 278 and her score vs. par of -10 are both school records for stroke play in the NCAA Tournament. Ting’s second place finish ties teammate Lottie Woad for the best individual finish in stroke play at the NCAA Tournament; Woad finished second in the 2024 NCAA Championship. Ting’s score of 278 and 10 strokes under par also established new school records – besting Woad’s scores of 279 and 9 strokes under par in 2024.
“I think ultimately the more we got on the golf course, the better we got, and the more confidence we gained,” said Seminole head coach Amy Bond. “They showed a lot of grit - a lot of determination - and hit some quality golf shots coming in today. We hope that will continue, and we can make a run.”
Ting finished the stroke play portion of the championship with her best score of the four rounds – a 4 under par 68 – to become the second player in school history to finish with four single round scores under par in the NCAA Championship. The junior All-American played her best golf of the championship on her back nine in the fourth round as she birdied five of her nine holes including her final hole of the championship.
“Mirabel played some great golf this week,’ said Bond. “She really wanted to birdie that last hole so she was 80 under par for the year. That’s some unbelievable golf. She’s hit the ball so well and her putting has come along. I’m extremely proud to have her and extremely proud of the year she’s having."
Woad, the most decorated golfer in school history, finished in a tie for eighth place in the individual standings to earn her second career top-10 finish in the NCAA Championships. She finished in second place in 2024. Woad finished with scores of 72-71-71-69 for a four-round total of 5 under total of 283. Woad’s fourth round total included six birdies with two on her final eight holes to vault her into the top 10 of the individual standings.
Woad finished the 2024 and 2025 NCAA Championship tournaments at a combined 14 strokes under par and seven of eight rounds scored a par or better.
Senior captain Kaylah Williams and freshman Alexandra Gazzoli carded scores of 76 to finish as two of the four counting scores for the Seminoles.
“The biggest thing about match play is you’ve got to kind of change your mindset a bit,” said Bond. “The most important thing is we’ve got to get some rest tonight. It’s been a long week so far so they need to get some rest, recover, and then be ready to go tomorrow. It’s a long day, but we’re excited to be playing.”
