In this episode, we go through the results of Women's Nationals and celebrate Emory University claiming their second consecutive National Championship and third in the last five years, cementing their status as the premier program in DIII Women's Golf.

Carnegie Mellon couldn't quite catch Emory. It was their second straight runner-up finish, an impressive display of consistency. The Tartans have now finished in the top five in all seven of their NCAA championship appearances, including a national title in 2024.

On the individual side, Carter Sichol from Carleton College was the story of the tournament. Sichol shot -5 (283) across four rounds — including a closing two-under 70 on Friday — to win the individual title by one stroke. Entering the final round in second place, she birdied four holes on the back nine to surge to the top. The drama came on the final hole: Carnegie Mellon's Emma Wong needed a birdie from six feet to force a tie, but the putt didn't fall, sealing Sichol's historic win.
