Arizona State defeated Northwestern, 3-2, to win the team title at the NCAA Women's Golf Championship.
After a pair of dramatic semifinal matches, the final was relatively drama-free as the Sun Devils built an early lead and cruised from there at Rich Harvest Farms Golf Club in Sugar Grove, Ill. This is Arizona State's eighth team title and first since 2009.
Olivia Mehaffey notched the first point for Arizona State, winning the opening match, 4 & 3, over Northwestern's Sarah Cho. That result was quickly followed by Roberta Liti's romp over Janet Mao, 5 & 4, to put the Sun Devils on the precipice of a national championship.
