ATHENS, Ga. - Stanford returned home Sunday after falling to Purdue, 3-2, in the consolation bracket of the Liz Murphey Collegiate hosted by Georgia.
Quirine Eijkenboom and Mariko Tumangan each won their respective matches for the third straight outing.
"Having the opportunity to compete in a team match play event was awesome," said Anne Walker, the Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf. "Being able to practice the different mindset and strategy required for match play will be invaluable for the NCAA Championships. It was a great learning experience all the way around."
Stanford was 10th after Friday's stroke play and split its two matches Saturday at the par-72, 6,404-yard University of Georgia Golf Course.
Stanford will spend some time on The Farm before heading to the PING/Arizona State Invitational (April 10-12) in Tempe, Arizona.
