The Wednesday consolation match at East Lake Golf Club will feature Stanford and UCLA
Following a team discussion the Huskies came out of the gates reengaged and clicking on all cylinders and they blitzed Stanford 4-1. They will face Duke, the three- seed in Wednesday's final.
Monday's medalist winner Andrea Lee won the opening match for Stanford 5&4 over Eunwon Park but that would prove to be their only point of the day. The young Washington team would take control from there winning the remainder of the matches. Husky victories went to Ellen Takada (2&1), Julianne Alvarez (3&1), Sarah Rhee (5&4) and Wenyung Keh (5&4).
"We had a really good team talk last night and today and a really good evaluation about what we needed to do against Stanford," said Alvarez who clinched the National Championship last year. "It was really honest and we just specified what we needed to do today against Stanford."

Duke moved on thanks to a 3-2 win over the two- seed UCLA. Bronte Law and Clare Legaspi got UCLA on the board with wins in two of the first three matches but Duke was able to rally late.
The Blue Devils received big wins in the latter two matches from Olympian Leona Maguire (4&2) and Ana Belac (3&2). Duke's first point on the board came from reigning NCAA Individual champion Virginia Elena Carta (5&3).
