ACC Hosts Women's Golf Championship At Porters Neck CC
April 15, 2026 | Women's Golf
North Carolina is the No. 4 seed in the 2026 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Golf Championship April 16-19 at Porters Neck Country Club in Wilmington, N.C.
The Tar Heels are No. 12 nationally in the NCAA's Scoreboard/Clippd rankings (11th in the Mizuno WGCA poll).
The tournament features three rounds of stroke play (to determine the individual champion and seed the top-six teams for match play) and three rounds of match play to determine the team champion.
The 15 teams in the field will play 36 holes of stroke play on Thursday, April 16, and a third round on Friday, April 17. The top six teams after stroke play advance to match play.
No. 3 will play No. 6 and No. 4 will play No. 5 in the quarterfinals at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 18. The top two seeds will join the quarterfinal winners in Saturday afternoon's semifinals.
The championship match is Sunday, April 19, at 9 a.m.
The seeds (with NCAA rankings) are: No. 1 Stanford (1), No. 2 Wake Forest (9), No. 3 Duke (11), No. 4 UNC (12), No. 5 Florida State (17), No. 6 SMU (25), No. 7 Virginia (33), No. 8 Virginia Tech (40), No. 9 Cal (44), No. 10 Clemson (46), No. 11 NC State (47), No. 12 Boston College (64), No. 13 Miami (73), No. 14 Louisville (74) and No. 15 Notre Dame (87).
Carolina has finished in the top four in seven of its nine starts this season, including wins at the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington in October and Chevron Collegiate in Texas in February and runner-up showings in each of the last two tournaments.
Three players who are on pace to break UNC's single-season scoring record lead the Tar Heels into the ACC Championship.
Senior Megan Streicher (Cape Town, South Africa) set the record with a 71.83 average as a sophomore in 2023-24. Streicher is averaging 70.90, junior Reagan Southerland (Atlanta, Ga.) is at 71.26 and sophomore Helen Yeung (Clarksville, Md.) shoots 71.77 per round.
Streicher, Southerland and Yeung will be joined in the lineup by sophomore Marie Prats-Rigual (Perpignan, France, 71.96) and junior Ing Iadpluem (Sunat, Thani, Thailand, 72.61).
Streicher, Southerland, Yeung and Iadpluem all competed in the 2025 ACC Championship, where the Tar Heels tied for fifth in stroke play and advanced to the quarterfinals of match play.
Senior Inez Ng (Singapore) is the alternate.
The ACC Championship is the final tournament before Carolina hosts one of six NCAA regionals on May 11-13 at UNC Finley Golf Club.
