Women’s Golf To Begin NCAA Championship On Friday
May 15, 2025 | Women's Golf
STARKVILLE – The Mississippi State women's golf squad is set to begin the 2025 NCAA Championship on Friday, May 16. The Bulldogs will begin their day at 3:40 p.m. CT on the North Course at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, 6,297-yard par-72 course.
State will be making their fourth consecutive NCAA Championship appearance when they hit the links, which is the longest streak in program history. The Bulldogs have appeared in the NCAA Championship six times in program history. State's best finish in the event came in the 2014 edition, where they finished in sixth place in stroke play.
The format of the NCAA Championship sees 30 teams start their journey with three rounds of stroke play. The top-15 teams after those three rounds will then advance to a fourth round of stroke play to cut the field to eight teams, which will then begin the match play portion of the tournament. The final team standing out of those eight will be crowned the 2025 NCAA Champion.
Mississippi State has played in three NCAA Championships since the format changed to include the match play portion in 2015. In those three appearances, the Bulldogs have made the cut for the final round of stroke play twice. Last season, the Bulldogs finished 15th in the stroke play portion of the tournament.
The Bulldog lineup will once again be topped by Avery Weed. Izzy Pellot and Samantha Whateley will sit in the second and third spots, respectively. Chiara Horder appears in the fourth spot of State's lineup. Ana Pina Ortega will make her NCAA Championship debut and round out the State five.
The Dawgs will be in the last groups to kick off the NCAA Championship. State will be led off on the back nine with Pina Ortega at 3:40 p.m. CT, with the remaining Bulldogs teeing off in 11-minute increments. Live scoring for the NCAA Championship will be available at scoreboard.clippd.com.
