FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Nothing drives Maria Fassi of Mexico like failure. Fassi was the Annika Award last year as the best player in women's golf as a junior at Arkansas, only to play some of her worst golf in the NCAAs. She atoned for that by winning the NCAAs in her final event before turning pro for the US Women's Open.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Maryland has boosted its frontcourt by adding Tennessee transfer Mimi Collins. The 6-foot-3 forward averaged 5.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in her lone season at Tennessee. Collins has three seasons of eligibility remaining. She plans to seek a waiver that would allow her to play immediately. If the NCAA doesn't grant the waiver, she would have to sit out the 2019-20 season.

(AP) — Haley Moore delivered again for Arizona by making a 15-foot birdie for a 1-up victory that sent the defending champions to a 3-2 victory over Southern Cal and a spot in the semifinals at the rain-delayed NCAA Women's Golf Championship.
