The Cavaliers were led by a third-place finish from Amanda Sambach who shot 2-under 214. UVA went on to finish 28th at the NCAA Championship Final led by Sambach’s 57th place finish after three rounds.
UVA’s has never won a regional but finished as the runners-up in 2022 and 2018. Virginia was third in 2011, fourth in 2023, 2019 and 2009 and has been fifth five times (2015, 2012, 2010, 2008, 2005). UVA has had three first-place individual finishers at NCAA Regionals. Calle Nielson was the first to accomplish the feat, placing first in 2010 at the West Regional at Stanford. In 2016, Elizabeth Szokol shared first-place honors, also at the Stanford Golf Course. Sambach became the third Cavalier to achieve the honor in 2023.
