Women's Golf Up To No. 2 In National Rankings
03/09/22 | Women's Golf
EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon women's golf team added another milestone to its impressive 2021-22 season on Wednesday, moving up to No. 2 in the national Golfstat rankings after winning the Florida State Match Up last weekend in Tallahassee.
Oregon is up to No. 2 for the first time after spending the previous two weeks at No. 3, trailing only Pac-12 rival Stanford for the top spot in the nation. Prior to this season, a No. 5 ranking at the end of the 1996-97 campaign is believed to be the highest ranking in program history.
The Ducks shot 3 under as a team to win the Florida State Match Up, their second victory of the season after opening the fall with a historic 26-under performance to dominate the Mason Rudolph Championship. Oregon has won three tournaments in the last calendar year after the program went more than five years without a team victory prior to the arrival of head coach Derek Radley and assistant Monica Vaughn.
Sophomore Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu won the individual title at the Mason Rudolph Championship and placed second last weekend in Tallahassee. Senior Tze-Han (Heather) Lin has posted a team-high three top-10 finishes already this season while Lu, Briana Chacon and Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen have each earned two, and Ching-Tzu Chen has one along with an 11th-place finish.
Oregon will return to action on Sunday at the Northrop Grumman Challenge in Palos Verdes, Calif., facing a field that features nine other teams in the national top 25. The Ducks will be the highest-ranked team in the field, with No. 5 Wake Forest and No. 6 Virginia also representing the top 10.
