BRADENTON, Fla. — Only two women's collegiate teams remain at the NCAA Women's National Championship. The Stanford Cardinal and the Baylor Bears have withstood the test of The Concession Golf Club and find themselves in Wednesday's championship match.

Both teams knocked out the champions from the past two years in the semifinals as Stanford defeated in-state rival USC, the 2013 winners, while Baylor ended Duke's chances of repeating.

Maybe the most crucial victory for the three-seed Baylor was the duel of two freshman — Duke's Irish first-year Lisa Maguire against Baylor freshman from Scotland Lauren Whyte. Maguire, arguably the top freshman in the country, lost to Whyte in 24 holes, giving Baylor three match play victories to Duke's two.
