SAN JOSE STATE AT THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS:
The Spartans are making their 23rd appearance at an NCAA Championship and have won three national titles - 1987, 1989 and 1992. Current head coach Dana (Lofland) Dormann finished tied for 17th individually at the 1987 championship.
The Spartans competed at the 2022 NCAA Championships at Grayhawk. The team advanced to match play for the first time in school history, finishing seventh in the team standings after four rounds of stroke play. In match play, SJSU fell 3-0 to second-seed Oregon in the quarterfinals. Natasha Andrea Oon finished second in the individual standings, the first Spartan to finish second since Janice Moodie finished second at the 1997 NCAA Championships
In 2019, the team finished 19th in the three-round stroke play portion of the tournament, shortened due to inclement weather. Oon finished ninth in the individual standings at 3-over 222 (par 73). She was the first Spartan to finish in the top-10 at an NCAA Championship since 1997.
Pat Hurst is the only San José State player to win an individual title. In all, 13 Spartans finished in the top-10 a total of 22 times at the NCAA Championships. Janice Moodie finished in the top-10 in all four years she competed for San José State, finishing second in 1997.
