NCAA Womens Golf

Haley Moore’s clutch putt last week helped the UA women’s golf team beat Alabama in the national championship match. Moore won all three of her matches during the final two days of the event. It was the first team title for a Wildcats squad since the baseball team won it all in 2012.

Moore defeated South Korea’s Bohyun Park 1-up. Pagdanganan won her match by the same score, defeating Stanford’s Albane Valenzuela of Stanford. Both Moore and Pagdanganan were both keys to a UA team that won the NCAA Championship earlier this summer.Β
