Oregon advances to face No. 1 Stanford for the national championship, starting at 1:35 p.m. PT Wednesday.

Briana Chacon took command quickly against Hailee Cooper. Chacon led by four holes at the turn and five after 10 and coasted to a 2 and 1 win as well.

Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen and Adela Cernousek went back and forth through the first 10 holes. The Aggie took the lead from there and hung on for a 1 up win.
