Headline of the Week
Megha Ganne’s Grand Goodbye

Stanford senior Megha Ganne is putting together quite a finish to her collegiate career. Off the golf course, the Holmdel native was recently announced as one of the inaugural recipients of the LPGA Collegiate Advancement Pathway. Ganne was also named to the 2026 All-ACC team, securing an all-conference team membership each of her four years of college.

On the golf course, Ganne absolutely thrived and led Stanford during the NCAA DI Women’s National Championship at Omni La Costa Resort. Ganne posted the second-best individual score at 10-under. Ganne finished her final collegiate Championship with four birdies, including birdies on holes 17 and 18. Ganne’s match play success allowed Stanford to secure the top seed for stroke play.

The Cardinals handily took care of their first two match-play opponents, Pepperdine and the Cinderella story of Eastern Michigan. They face the University of Southern California in the Championship final round at 5:25 P.M. EST.
